2001 Congratulations, the Builder has completed developing a Grain Farm, and you have completed Episode 1. \n\nAs your Empire expands in future episodes, you will want to continue using your Builder to increase the amount of Grain, Meat, and other resources available to your capital city. Developing natural resources will be an important activity throughout the game.
2002 Congratulations, the Engineer has completed building road that connects a Grain Farm to the capital city. That Grain will be automatically transported to the city where it will be eaten by industrial workers.\n\nYou can verify that the Grain farm tile is connected in two ways: hold the cursor over the tile and look at the help text that appears in the top right of the screen. It will show that "Max Transport" has gone from 0 to 1. You could also info-click on the tile to get a detailed report about the tile. Note that you did not have to build road all the way into the Grain Farm tile --just being adjacent to road is sufficient.\n\nAs your Empire expands in future episodes, you will want to continue using your Engineer to connect the developments made by the Builder.
2003 Congratulations, your Explorer just discovered a hidden mineral deposit, and you have completed Episode 3. \n\nContinue to use your Explorer each turn to look for valuable resources in your homeland. Don t forget that prospected minerals are not usable until the Builder develops them.\n\nIn the early part of the game, the most important mineral resource to locate is iron ore. Processed iron (cast iron) is used by the Builder and the Engineer, and is also used to build military and naval units.\n\nLater in the game, copper, tin, and coal will be important as well. Eventually, you will send an Explorer to prospect and explore in the New World.\n
2004 Congratulations, your Builder and Engineer have completed the goal of connecting two more developments to the capital. You have the start of a good road network.\n\nThere are certain types of resources which are especially important at the beginning of the game. As you continue with this tutorial, keep your Builder and Engineer busy developing and connecting terrain tiles that produce Timber, Iron Ore and Wool, which are important for industry, and Grain and Cattle, which are needed to feed the industrial workers. \n\nThe developments which you have made so far are all level 1 developments, which means simply that they produce one unit of resources (such as timber, or grain) every turn. Later technologies will permit the Builder to work on the same terrain tiles again increasing the resource output of the development on the tile. Technologies will also lead to improved roads capable of transporting these additional resources to the capital city. \n
2005 Congratulations, you have produced Lumber, Cast Iron and Fabric, thus completing Episode 5.\n\nThe Builder uses Lumber and Cast Iron each time he develops a tile. The Engineer uses Lumber and Cast Iron each time he builds road. You will use Fabric in the next Episode, to recruit new laborers into the city. \n
2006 Congratulations, you have your industrial workers set to make Fabric, Lumber and Cast Iron every turn, as long as the resources are available. You have completed Episode 6. \n\nIn the next episode, you will learn how to transport resources which are too far from your capital to be quickly reached via road. \n
2007 The Engineer has completed building the port, which concludes this episode. \n\nNow that you have two ports (your capital and the one just constructed) your Engineer may build roads connected to either one. \n\nHowever, keep in mind that the resources gathered from roads connected only to the new (non-capital) port must be moved by ship from the port back to the capital city. As you will learn in the next episode there are advantages to land transport. \n\nIt will be a good idea later in the game to connect all your ports (on the same continent) with roads to the capital. For now, ports are an efficient way to gain distant resources. \n\n
2008 Congratulations, you have succeed in transporting at least four units of resources by ship. You have completed Episode 8. \n\nIn future episodes, as your Empire expands into other continents, you may develop several separate land transport networks joined only by ports. This type of expansion requires the construction of a much larger fleet since these resources must be moved by ship to the capital. Ships are also used for other purposes including trade, controlling the seas, and exploration.\n\n\n
2009 Congratulations, your ship has uncovered the coastline of the New World. You have completed Episode 9. \n\nGenerally, it is a good idea to keep one ship exploring until the entire coast is mapped. Some find it convenient to order their ships while using the zoomed out map.\n\nSend your Explorer to search the interior of these new lands. He exposes all the tiles around him. The New World contains exotic resources not found in the Old World, such as Cotton, Tobacco, Silver and Diamonds. \n
2010 Congratulations, your ship or Explorer has uncovered a tribal capital. This makes it possible to conduct diplomacy and trade with this tribe for the first time. Continue exploring to find the other tribal capitals.\n\nThe next episodes introduce diplomacy and trade. The episodes use the Old World for the demonstration. Keep in mind, however, that these same strategies for trade and diplomacy apply to those tribes whose capitals you have located.\n
2011 Congratulations, by building a Consulate and granting a trade subsidy, you have become the favored trade partner of a Minor Nation. \n\nThe inter-dependency of trade and diplomatic success will be a recurring theme during your rule. The long term purpose of diplomacy is getting other countries to choose to join your Empire. But the short term goal is to gain a steady trade supply of the resources that the other nation produces. \n\nOnce you have become the favorite trading partner of a minor nation, you can count on trade offers each turn. This is especially useful at the beginning of the game when your own nation has not yet developed its transport network.\n
2012 Congratulations, you have successfully sold a material and bought a resource. You have completed Episode 12. \n\nAs the game continues, you should complete as many trades as possible with minor nations with whom you have Trade Consulates. Each of those trade deals improves relations between your Great Power and the Minor Nation. \n\nYou now know the two methods--transport and trade-- of gaining resources (or materials) for production. Generally you should purchase resources that are in short supply in your own country. Buying materials on the market is often a bad idea because of the high costs. It is wiser to rely on your own production to turn resources into materials.\n
2013 Your new military unit is stationed at your capital city. You have completed Episode 13. \n\nYour new military unit will come up in the unit cycle after the civilians. The best thing to do with it at this point is give it orders to defend the capital (click the right-most unit order button on the toolbar).\n\nThis first unit is merely the beginning of your military buildup. (Even pacifist nations must have strong defense forces.) The next episode covers the uses of naval and military forces to expand your Empire .\n\n\n
2014 Congratulations, you completed Episode 14. Your force of 3 new Pikemen is garrisoned at the capital. \n\nThis force should be able to conquer a province in the New World. In the next episode, you will use your navy to establish a beachhead in the New World, so that you can send in the troops.
2015 Congratulations, you have established a landing zone, or beachhead, in the New World. In the next episode you will send troops into the province with the beachhead.\n\nThe fleet maintaining the beachhead is safe enough for now, because the tribes have no naval forces to threaten it. However, if you were fighting another Great Power, your ships could be intercepted. In that case it would be necessary to send enough force to protect your fleet from hostile ships.\n\n
2016 Congratulations, your attack on the New World province was successful. You have completed Episode 16. That province is now part of your Empire. It appears as your color on the diplomacy map. \n\nYour civilian units can now develop this new territory in the same way they have been developing your home country. An important first step is the construction of a port. Roads built out from this port gather the commodities of your new province. \n\nSome commodities, such as sugar and tobacco, are only available in the New World and are essential for the long term development of your Great Power. You should keep a garrison in the New World to protect your conquests.\n
2017 Congratulations, your research efforts and patience have been rewarded: you have completed the discovery of a new technology. \n\nEach new technology expands the capabilities of your Empire, provided that your economy is developed sufficiently to take advantage of the new opportunities. In a game of Imperialism II, you must balance your technological growth with the growth of the infrastructure required to benefit from a new technology.\n\n
2018 It is the year 1650. Now that have completed the tutorial and learned the rudiments of running an Empire, the time has come for you to assume your rightful place as full monarch.
2101 Your country is still rural and undeveloped. While the people may be surviving by living off the land, they are not producing anything that could be used by large scale industry, nor are they producing enough food to feed the industrial work force in your capital.\n\nTo get terrain tiles to produce useful quantities, you must develop them with the Builder. When a Builder develops a tile, a small structure appears. You will see that the tiles adjacent to your capital city are already developed. \n\nWhen you close this window, a smaller window will appear. At the top it provides feedback on your last action. The lower text helps prompt your next action.
2102 Welcome to Episode 2. You are getting a new unit, the Engineer, and access to the unit cycling buttons on the toolbar.\n\nDeveloped resources are of no use unless they are transported to the capital city. The main function for the Engineer is to build a road network connecting developed resources to the capital city, where they can be used for industry or trade.\n\nResource tiles are considered "connected" if they have a road going through them, or are adjacent to a tile that has road in it. Resource tiles adjacent to the capital city or to other ports are also connected.\n\nClick the question mark button on the lower right of the Main Map screen for explanations of road networks and of how to use the unit cycle buttons shown in the toolbar. \n\n
2103 Welcome to Episode 3. You are getting a new unit, an Explorer. \n\nHills, mountains, swamps and deserts may conceal valuable minerals. The Explorer prospects these areas, searching for minerals. Once minerals are located, the Builder can construct a mine.
2104 Welcome to Episode 4, in which you will continue to work with your Builder and Engineer.\n\nTiles developed by your Builder produce resources each turn. Your Empire gains those resources if the development is connected to the capital city by road.
2105 Welcome to Episode 5. You are getting access to the Industry button on the ribbon toolbar. The Production panel in the Industry Orders screen is used to make materials.\n\nThe resources your Empire gains each turn are used to produce materials. For example, Timber is processed into Lumber, and Iron Ore is converted to Cast Iron.\n\nLumber and Cast Iron have many uses, for example the Builder uses them for all developments, and the Engineer uses them to build roads. Wool is turned into Fabric, which is needed to recruit labor and later, to build sailing ships.\n\nAdditionally, materials may be sold to other nations for a profit.
2106 Welcome to Episode 6. You are getting access to a new button on the Industry Orders screen. \n\nAll production of materials requires labor. As the game progresses your Empire requires more and more labor. The Labor Panel is used to recruit more peasant laborers and to improve the quality of the laborers later in the game.\n\nWith the additional Peasant labor, you will be able to make three materials at a time.
2107 Welcome to Episode 7. You will be putting your Engineer to work in a new activity.\n\nSometimes resources you need are so far from your capital that the expense and time required for road construction make building a port a better option. Like roads, ports collect resources from any tile on or adjacent to the port s location. They also collect fish from the ocean and rivers, which helps feed industrial workers.\n\nSince items gathered by a port can move over water, it is not necessary for ports to be connected by road to the capital. If you do eventually connect a port, however, some of the commodities it picks up will move over land.
2108 Welcome to Episode 8. You are getting access to the Transport button on the ribbon toolbar. \n\nThe roads built by your Engineer have been transporting resources every turn automatically. \nLand (or road) transport is shown with green slider bars on the transport screen.\n\nUnlike road transport, transport of resource by sea (from a port) must have ships assigned to it. The transport screen is used to give these orders. Each type of commodity that can be moved by water is represented by a blue colored slider bar on the transport screen. \n\nUse the arrows at the ends of the slider bars to control how much of a commodity your ships will move.
2109 Welcome to Episode 9. You are gaining control of your navy, and getting access to the Zoom button at the top left of the toolbar.\n\nYour ships are presently all assigned to the home fleet (stationed in the harbor), where they are available for transport orders. In this episode, you will order one ship to move out on the open seas, beginning the exploration of the New World.
2110 As an Old World ruler, one of your duties is to bring civilization to the tribes of the New World. Of course, if your country makes a few profits at the same time it seems only fair. \n\nYou cannot trade with a Tribe until you have discovered its capital. Tribal capitals along the coast can be discovered by ship.\nYou must send the Explorer to the New World to discover inland capitals.
2111 Welcome to Episode 11. You are getting access to the Diplomacy button on the ribbon toolbar. \n\nDiplomatic actions are used to gain influence in other countries without war. This leads to advantages over the other Great Powers when conducting trade. By building a long term peaceful relationship you may eventually convince other countries to join your Empire.
2112 Welcome to Episode 12. You are getting access to the Trade button on the ribbon toolbar. \n\nThrough trade your Empire makes profits selling materials, and gains additional raw resources from other lands. As the favored trading partner of a Minor nation, your Great Power gets the first opportunity to buy its products.
2113 Welcome to Episode 13. You are getting access to the Units button on the Industry Orders screen. \n\nIt s a good idea to develop defensive forces, and order them to defend each of your provinces. It is especially important to defend the capital. If the capital is conquered, you lose. \n\nYou can build military units, as well as civilian workers and ships, using the unit building panel in the Industry Orders screen. Consider building a knight or a pikeman. These are two of the more effective units early in the game.\n
2114 Welcome to Episode 14, in which you will prepare an assault force.\n\nAlthough conquest is not the only viable option for exploiting the New World, the Tribes are a handy target for learning to command an invasion. \n\nThe nations of the Old World tend to be too powerful to be successfully attacked early in the game. However, a small but strong force should be able to conquer a New World province.
2115 Declaring war is a prerequisite to battle in the Old World. However, the Great Powers play by different rules in the New World, and no declaration is required.\n\nOverseas invasion is carried out in 2 steps: beachhead and attack. In this episode you will carry out the first step, establishing a beachhead where your troops will land. \n
2116 As you may recall, overseas invasion is carried out in 2 steps: beachhead and attack. Now that you have established a beachhead, in this episode you will carry out the second step, attacking.
2117 Welcome to Episode 17. You are getting access to the Technology button on the ribbon toolbar. \n\nNew technologies increase your abilities and efficiency in every aspect of developing an Empire. As the game progresses, all the Great Powers will research and discover new technologies, attempting to gain advantages over their foes. \n\nThis is the last episode of the tutorial. \n
2118 Welcome to Episode 18, the final episode of the tutorial. \n\nOne of the basic challenges in the early part of a game of Imperialism II is feeding your population. You need to be bringing in one unit of food (grain, livestock or fish) every turn for each army regiment, ship, and industrial worker group.\n\nYour goal for the remaining turns of the tutorial is to make sure that by the time the tutorial ends in 1650, you are transporting in enough food every turn to feed your people. Unlike previous episodes, this one will not end when you achieve the goal. You will be allowed to continue playing until 1600.\n

2201 " Grain fields, shown with a yellow-gold color, are sites for farms.\n" When you hold the mouse over a tile where the Builder can work, you will see a hammer cursor.\n" The Builder takes 2 turns to develop a grain farm.\n" Toolbar information for the Builder:\n--icons show what types of resources the Builder can develop. \n--subscripts show how many tiles in your country produce that resource and still need to be developed\n" Click an icon on the toolbar to center the map on a tile that contains that resource and could be developed.\n" Click the Builder in the toolbar to center the map on the Builder again.\n" Move the cursor to the edges of the screen to scroll the map.\n" To close this window, click the small gold box in the top left corner. \n
2202 " The unit pictured in the toolbar is selected and ready for work. It will also appear on the map with a flashing white outline (currently hidden by this window).\n" The Engineer builds roads from where he is into the adjacent tile.\n" The Engineer takes 1 turn to build road through most tiles, except hills, mountains and swamps, which take 2 turns. \n" It s a good idea to continue using the Builder to develop more Grain Farms and other natural resources.\n" Click the question mark button on the lower right of the Main Map screen to bring up the Help briefing for this episode. It contains further explanations of the very important concepts of road networks and knowing which tiles are connected. \n" The Help briefing for this episode also discusses the unit cycling buttons in the toolbar.\n
2203 " The Explorer can look for minerals in tiles where you see an eye cursor.\n" If any tiles adjacent to your capital city contain minerals, they are already explored and developed.\n" Look at the help text at the top right of the screen to see the name of the type of terrain under the cursor. \n" Info-click on a space (right click, or shift click) for a more complete description of everything in the space.
2204 " Developments are connected by road if their tile is adjacent to or on a tile with a road in it, and if the road extends unbroken back to the capital city. \n" Look at the help text at the top right of the screen to see the if a tile is considered connected to the city. \n" If the Explorer has found minerals relatively near the capital, it is a good idea to develop them with the Builder and connect them with the Engineer.\n" You can cancel or confirm a unit s orders by clicking on the working unit.
2205 " Click the factory button on the toolbar to bring up the Industry Orders screen (it looks like the button in the picture above).\n" You don t have enough labor to build all three materials in one turn. You will need to set orders for two items, then change your orders the next turn.\n" The blue banner at the top of the Industry Orders lists all the resources and materials currently available to your Empire. \n" To produce Cast Iron, you will need to move the feedback window (click and drag on the bar at the top).
2206 " Click the hammer icon at the top of the Industry Orders screen to access the Labor Panel.\n" It makes the most sense to recruit new peasants in sets of two, because production of one unit of material requires the labor of two peasants. \n" Don t recruit too many Peasants: you have to feed them all.\n" Click the question mark button on the Main Map or Industry Orders screen for further help with this episode.
2207 " The Engineer must first deploy (move without working) to the site for the future port. He can build the port on the next turn.\n" The cursor for deploying is a green arrow.\n" If you put the Engineer to sleep in a previous episode, click on him to wake him. He will then come up normally in the unit cycle.\n" To build a port, hold the cursor over the tile where the Engineer is standing. The cursor will look like a hammer. The framed area shows the adjacent tiles, which would be connected to that port.
2208 " Click the carriage button on the toolbar to bring up the Transport Orders screen (it looks like the button in picture above). \n" On the Transport Orders screen, automatic road transport is shown by green in the slider, while ship transport is marked with blue in the slider.\n" Ship units will appear on the map docked in your capital harbor. Ships left in the harbor are available for transport orders. You will not be allowed to move ships out of the harbor during this episode.
2209 " Ships can move to sea zones where the cursor appears as a ship s wheel.\n" Use the magnifying glass button on the toolbar to switch to the zoomed out map, where sea zones that the selected ships can reach are highlighted\n" Ships are grouped into fleets. Each fleet is represented by one ship icon on the map.\n" Any ship ordered to leave your home port will no longer be available for transporting resources. \n" As you approach the coastline, you will first see just the very edge. You need to come closer and reveal more of the land to satisfy the goal of this episode.
2210 " To explore inland, send your Explorer to the New World (by clicking on an exposed tile in the New World when he is selected).\n" Moving a ship around a concealed continent reveals its entire coastline.\n" If you put the Explorer to sleep in a previous episode, wake him up by clicking on him, or by typing w to wake all units. \n" Click on the mini-map in the toolbar to quickly scroll from the Old World to the New World. \n
2211 " Click the scroll button on the toolbar to bring up the Diplomacy Orders screen (it looks like the button in the picture above).\n" Steps to becoming the most favored trade partner:\n1. Choose a Minor Nation to court\n2. Establish a trade consulate with that nation\n3. Give that nation a trade subsidy\n (more details are given in the Help briefing)\n" The name of the most favored trade partner of a country is displayed when that country is selected on the Diplomacy map while the Information overlay is displayed. \n" Click the question mark button in the top right scroll knob on the Diplomacy Screen for more help with this episode.\n" Your country is always selected when you bring up the Diplomacy Orders screen.\n" The world is divided into Great Powers and Minor Nations. In the Old World, Minor Nations are called Neutral States. In the New World, they are Tribes.
2212 " Click the coins button on the toolbar to bring up the Trade Orders screen. (It looks like the button in the picture above.)\n" Materials are listed at the top of the Trade Orders screen, resources are shown in the bottom half.\n" Make sure you have enough ships available to both buy and sell.\n" You can find out what resources a Minor Nation sells using the "information" panel on the Diplomacy Orders screen or by investigating the terrain around the capital on the map.\n" Enter a "B" buy bid on the resources sold by the Minor Nation.\n
2213 " You can reach the Units panel by clicking on the flags icon in the top banner on the Industry Orders screen.\n" If you have been playing effectively, all your industrial labor will have been assigned to producing materials. However, because Peasants who are working cannot be drafted into the army or navy, you will need to reduce your materials production orders to make a Peasant available for drafting. \n" Just as each Peasant unit represents a large group of Peasant workers, each military unit constructed represents a regiment.\n
2214 " You probably don t have enough labor at the start of this Episode to build 3 Pikemen, and even if you did, you probably don t have enough labor left over to keep working on industry. You will need to recruit more peasants using the labor panel.\n" All units and peasants need to be fed. As you expand your workforce, it is crucial that you also expand the amount of food (grain, livestock, fish) you are transporting into the city.\n" When the unit you built last episode comes up in the unit cycle, give it orders to Defend your capital.
2215 " Fleets must be in a sea zone adjacent to the province to be invaded before the landing site can be established.\n" When a group of ships is selected, a cannon cursor indicates a landing site mission.\n" The larger the fleet used, the more land units you can send on the attack next turn.\n" To make success more likely, look for a New World province whose force size is shown as two tents, rather than three tents.\n" When your Pikemen come up in the unit cycle, just click the No orders this turn button. You will use them next turn.
2216 " Sending your 3 Pikemen on this attack is a good idea.\n" When your army comes up in the unit cycle, use the minimap to quickly scroll the map over to the province where you see the invading Fleet at the shore.\n" If you previously gave your Pikemen orders to defend, they will not come up automatically in the unit cycle. Click the garrison tents where they are defending to select them. \n" Since the capital city is a port, units encamped there may attack into the overseas province with your landing site.\n" To order the attack, hold the cursor over the target province. It will look like a set of crossed swords. Click on the province. A red attack arrow on the map confirms that the attack is ordered.\n" The battle will take place after you click the End Turn button.\n
2217 " Click the compass in the ribbon toolbar to bring up the Technology Orders screen.\n" Although you can select which technologies to research manually, you should turn on computer control for the technology orders until you are familiar with the game. \n" Successful research is announced at the beginning of a new turn. The exact moment of success is unpredictable.\n" While you are waiting for your technology research investments to bear fruit, concentrate on building your transport network, developing more resources, and building up your labor force. \n
2218 " Use the Builder to develop more Grain Farms and Cattle Ranches, and use the Engineer to connect those developments to the city by road.\n" The Labor panel in the Industry Orders screen shows a summary in the lower left of how many workers, regiments and ships you have. Add them up to total up food needs. \n" Hold your cursor over the icons of grain and fish and livestock in the right hand scroll of the Industry Orders screen the help text in the top right summarizes how many units of each are needed, and how many are currently being transported in.
2219 Here is a short list of game elements for you to explore when you play your next game as a full monarch:\n\nMilitary Tactical battle\nDiplomacy Declare war, use treaties and grants\nIndustry Train up a more effective workforce\nMerchant unit buy land in the New World\nEspionage - use Spies to advance technology research\nPiracy - seize rivals transport and trade goods and ships\nMultiplayer play over a local network or use the Internet\nVictory - gain control of the Old World, through war or diplomacy\nPreferences - customize the game play and difficulty settings\nFeedback use the status and roster screens which can be accessed from the Information button on the Main Map toolbar\n\n\n
2290 Sidebar: About Automated Orders\n\nYou may delegate many of your responsibilities as monarch to your assistant (also known as the computer).\n\nWhen this is possible, a button appears on the ribbon at the top left of the screen, which you can toggle between human and computer control. \n\nUsing the assistant is an excellent way to learn. The right way to use it is to click the button so the computer sets the orders, then go in and adjust the orders to achieve your particular short term goals (such as the tutorial episode goals). \n\nAs you become a more experienced ruler, you will find it more efficient to set all orders personally.
2292 You may want to try the tutorial again before moving on to the regular game. \n\n(In the full version of the game, there is no time limit on the tutorial).
2293 It s 1650.\n\nAlthough you have not completed the tutorial, time has run out.
2294 You have learned the basics of playing Imperialism II: Age of Exploration. You are ready to start a playing a regular game, perhaps on Introductory or Easy.
2295 You have learned the basics of playing Imperialism II: Age of Exploration. When you have the full version, you will be ready to start a regular game.
2296 Congratulations, you have researched a new technology and completed the tutorial. \n\nEach new technology expands the capabilities of your Empire, provided that your economy is developed sufficiently to take advantage of the new opportunities. In a game of Imperialism II, you must balance your technological growth with the growth of the infrastructure required to benefit from a new technology.
2297 Clicking this button delegates some of your responsibilities as monarch to your assistant (also known as the computer).\n\nUsing the assistant is an excellent way to learn. The right way to use it is to click the button so the computer sets the orders, then go in and adjust the orders to achieve your particular short term goals.
2298 Clicking this button delegates some of your responsibilities as monarch to your assistant (also known as the computer).\n\nUsing the assistant is an excellent way to learn. The right way to use it is to click the button so the computer sets the orders, which gives you an idea of some sensible orders. Then go in and adjust the orders to achieve your particular short term goals (such as the tutorial episode goals). \n\nIf you leave the computer assistant in control, your adjusted orders will be carried out for one turn only, then next turn, the computer assistant will make all new orders. \n\nSo turn the automated assistant off if you want your changes to be used for more than one turn.
2299 Welcome to the demo version of Imperialism II: Age of Exploration.\n\nOnly the tutorial is available in this version. The tutorial consists of 17 episodes. In the full version, there is no turn limit on the tutorial, but there is one in this demo version. Even if you haven t completed the tutorial, the game will end after 75 turns, in the year 1650.\nClick the scrolls on the table to begin the tutorial.

2328 Although the first successful internal combustion engine was invented in 1860 by Lenoir, practical applications were not developed until the close of the century. Diesel patented his engine in 1892, and in 1893 both Karl Benz and Henry Ford built their first motorcars.\n\nPractical oil and gasoline burning internal combustion engines permit the recruiting of Armored and Mechanized regiments and the upgrading of older units to these modern types. Additionally, Drillers may improve Oil wells to Level III, producing six units per turn.

3011 \nYour civilian units work to expand the pool of available resources on the Terrain Map. \n\nProspectors look for minerals in barren hills and mountains. Later, they can search for oil. \nMiners open mines after the minerals are found.\nFarmers improve the output of fruit, grain, and cotton.\nForesters improve the output of timber\nRanchers improve the output of livestock and wool.\n\nUnlike these units, Engineers are used to connect the resources to a transport network so they may be used to feed your workers and supply your industries. If a terrain tile is within one tile of a connected rail depot, a port, or the capital city, the resources in that tile are available to the transport network.
3012 \nWhenever a civilian is selected you will see a white flashing outline around him, and his picture will be shown in the toolbar. \n\nIn the toolbar you see a picture of the selected civilian along with information about him. On the map you see your civilian units, a variety of terrain, towns, and defensive military encampments (small tents). \n\nThere are nine types of terrain that always supply a resource: fertile hills(wool), plantations(cotton), open range(livestock), farms(grain), orchards(fruit), hardwood forest(timber), dry plains(grain), ranches(horses), and scrub forests(timber). The last three types cannot be improved to produce more than one unit per turn.\n\nThere are two types of terrain that might conceal mineral resources: barren hills(coal or iron), and mountains (coal, iron, gold, gems).\n\nSome of the other types of terrain on the map become valuable later in the game, like deserts and tundra.\n\n
3013 \nAs you move your cursor across the map it will alter according to what will happen if you click in that location. You can safely experiment because any order you give can be canceled at no cost. \n\nOnce you give an order to a civilian a question mark will appear when you place the cursor over the ordered unit. Click on the unit and a dialog box informs you what he is doing and lets you cancel or confirm his orders. \n\nYou can be sure a civilian is working when the unit animates.\n
3014 \nCursors tell you what will happen if you send your civilian to that terrain tile. For most units, a hammer cursor appears over tiles where that unit could move and do work. \n\nThe Prospector has a special cursor, an eye that appears over places he can search for minerals. The Engineer also has a special cursor, the railroad track cursor which appears over tiles to which he could build rail. When the hammer cursor appears over the Engineer, it indicates that he could construct a depot, port or fort in his current space.\n\nIf you see a green arrow, the civilian can move there, but he will accomplish no work this turn.\n\n
3015 \nYou may cycle through your units using the next unit button on the toolbar (a small arrow). \n\nIf you wish to select a civilian unit without waiting for it in the cycle, move the cursor over a unit on the map. When the cursor becomes a small hammer with a flag, click to select the unit. \n\nThis allows you to select units that are not currently in the automatic cycle, or to command units in a different order than presented by the cycle.\n\n
3021 \nIn the middle of the toolbar, the higher row of four buttons takes you to transport, industry, trade, and diplomacy. Each of these four buttons highlights every turn until you have visited that screen. \n\nThe lower row of four buttons provides orders for the selected unit on the map. The toolbar includes a mini-map of the world. \n\nIn the top row a microscope button takes you to the technology interface. \n\nHot text in the upper right reminds you of button functions when the cursor is over a button.\n
3022 \nWhen a civilian unit is working he is animated on the map. Most work, with the exception of rail building and prospecting, takes three turns.\n\nOn the map, you will know your worker is finished when he returns to the unit cycle for orders. A flashing white outline around the unit on the map tells you he is selected and ready for a new command.\n\nIf a worker is deployed (using a green arrow cursor) he does no work during the turn and appears in gray scale and non-animated. Units told to sleep also look like this. \n\n
3023 \nAlthough units may be commanded by clicking on the map, the four unit buttons can be convenient as well. \n\nThe first button disbands a civilian and sends the worker back to industry. This is useful if you have nothing more for the civilian to do. For military units this button brings up the details of a group of regiments. \n\nOther unit buttons include: the later button (an arrow), which continues to the next unit in the cycle; the done button (an X), which ends the turn for the selected unit; and the sleep button, which removes the selected unit from the cycle next turn.\n
3024 \nTransport, industry, trade, and diplomacy screens do not need to be visited every turn. When something in the world situation has changed, you will need to change your orders on one or more of these screens. Generally, the industry screen requires the most attention of the four. \n\nYou will receive warnings from your ministers if the situation on one of these screens desperately demands new orders. Eventually highly successful rulers need to learn when to visit these screens before the situation is urgent enough to generate a warning from the ministers. \n
3025 \nThere are two shortcuts for moving units without scrolling across your nation or the world. \n\nThe mini-map in the upper right portion of the toolbar permits you to jump to any part of the world. This is useful for moving civilians, military, and naval units. \n\nAdditionally you can find a place for the civilians (with the exception of the Engineer) to work by clicking one of the miniature terrain tiles near the bottom of the toolbar. This will center the map on the next tile where they can perform work.\n\n
3031 \nThis screen represents the industrial might of your Empire. Here you order production, using the labor of workers to produce raw resources into materials such as steel or lumber, and to produce the materials into goods such as armaments or furniture. \n\nClick on the warehouse in the upper center of the screen to see how much of each commodity is now available. The warehouse display is divided into different Production Economies.\n\nClick on the six factories and mills on the lower half of the screen. This is where you order industrial production. As you move the sliders on these pop-up screens, the commodities used by the factories and mills are deducted from the warehouse.\nThese production dialogs may be left open when you leave the screen, and can be relocated anywhere on the screen. \n\nIf you use items in one production dialog and later decide you want those items elsewhere you merely change your commands. The order in which you open the production dialog boxes is irrelevant.\n\n
3032 \nBy moving your cursor across the screen you can find the name of each building in the hot text at the upper right. \n\nThe trade school and the capitol building manage and develop the industrial workers who provide labor for the city. On the left border of the screen you see the workers in your city now, with the total amount of labor available represented by the arm icon shown above them. \n\nThe food processing center provides a means of preserving some of your food in case of fresh food shortfalls. The workers eat food every turn. The amount of food demanded each turn appears on the right border. At the beginning of the game you own a stockpile of canned food that the workers will eat if insufficient raw foods are provided.\n\nThe railyard is used to construct transportation to allow more resources to reach your industry. The armory, university, and shipyard allow you to build more units. \n
3033 \nClick on one of the factory buildings to bring up a factory production dialog. In this box you see a production equation explaining what this factory can do.\n\nTo order production at a factory click on the arrow to the right of the slider until the maximum amount of production (capacity) is reached, or until you run out of a necessary item. You can change your mind and reduce or eliminate production by clicking on the other arrow. \n\nAll materials have multiple uses, so it is not always the right decision to produce all the goods you can.\n
3034 \nA production equation referring to labor (represented by the icon of a bicep) appears on each production dialog, and on some of the other building screens as well. The workers displayed on the left border of the screen supply the labor for these centers. \n\nAn untrained worker (gray smock) supplies one point of labor per turn. Trained workers (light blue smock) supply more labor (two per turn); expert workers (dark blue smock) supply the most (four per turn).\n\nBy training a worker in the Trade School--the dark red building to the left of the screen-- you increase the amount of labor he provides each turn. He won't be able to work during the turn he is trained. Training costs paper and money.\n\nYou control migration to your industries through the capitol building in the middle of the screen. New untrained migrants come from the rural districts of your empire in response to your expenditure of food and consumer goods. Be careful not to increase your population faster than your food supplies warrant.\n
3035 \nEach of the four large sections on the warehouse display summarizes one of the economies in the game. \n\nThe top section, for example, shows on the left side the amount of stored cotton and wool. These are the raw resources in the textile economy. Next you see the amount of fabric; the material in the textile economy. Finally, you see the amount of clothing; the end product--or finished good--in the textile economy. \n\nWith the exception of food, there are two industrial buildings associated with each economy. The mills produce materials out of resources; and the factories produce goods out of materials.\n
3041 \nGreetings, your Excellency. As the ruler of a burgeoning Empire you enjoy a vast amount of power over political, military, and economic affairs. These Briefings will be presented to help you learn the interfaces through which you issue your commands.
3042 \nYou may reopen a Briefing, or reach the Imperialism help menu through the help and information button in the upper right corner of most screens. \n\nYou can take advantage of hot text messages on most screens by placing the cursor over objects or pictures. \n\nWhen you want to know more about something, right mouse click on it. Often, more information is available.
3043 \nThe world of Imperialism consists of provinces ruled by governors. To win you must obtain the support of a majority of governors. \n\nThe world-wide Council of Governors nominates two Great Powers for possible victory every 10 years. To be nominated your country must expand its industry and economic clout. Once there are two nominees all the governors in the world vote for one of the two, or abstain from voting.\n\nOwning, conquering or colonizing a province provides automatic support if your country is nominated to win. \n\nIf your country is nominated, governors in other countries may choose to support you due to your diplomatic or military successes. Generally, provinces owned by Great Powers consider military threat when deciding to vote. Minor Nation owned provinces, on the other hand, are more interested in the diplomatic prestige of the nominated Great Powers.\n\nYou might choose to play aggressively in one area of the world, and peacefully in another. A combination of military and diplomatic strategies will generally garner support the most quickly.
3044 \nThe computer icon at the top of the toolbar on the map screen takes you to the game control menu. You should save your game every six turns or so. This menu also lets you enter the preferences screen. Here you set controls for animations, sound, music, tactical battles, and other options.
3045 \nAs you give orders to your industry, traders, diplomats, civilian workers, and military, the rulers of other empires do the same. Your orders can be canceled at any time prior to clicking the End Turn button at the bottom of the toolbar on the map screen. When you click this button and the turn ends, the orders of all Great Powers are carried out simultaneously.
3051 \nOn the bid and offers screen you tell your merchants which commodities to try to buy and sell when the world market convenes after the end of the turn. \n\nThere are no guarantees on the world market. Your empire might need coal, for example, and have plenty of money, but if no other country is offering coal you will not be able to buy any. Likewise if no other country is bidding on the commodities you offer, you will not be able to sell them.\n\nUse your powerful industries to take advantage of the minor nations: buy their cheap raw resources and sell them back expensive finished goods. \n\nConsider changing the bids entered if there is something in particular you wish to buy. You should decide what to attempt to buy based on what resources you lack. \n
3052 \nEach commodity traded on the market is pictured to the left of the screen. At the top of the column are goods, followed by materials, with resources at the bottom. \n\nHot text will remind you of each commodity's name. Information on the screen includes the current world price and the amount you have available in your stockpile. \n\nNear the top of the right wooden border is a number under a ship icon. This represents your merchant marine. With rare exceptions, you are unable to buy and sell more total items in one turn than this number.\n\nYou may also occasionally see other icons appear in the border areas. When this occurs it means your industry or your workers have a particular demand for that item. \n
3053 \nAt the beginning of the game you should immediately begin to buy commodities, especially resources. \n\nTo bid (attempt to buy) a commodity click on the left-side brass slider in the same row as the desired commodity. You will find these sliders in the Orders column of the screen. When the slider appears it will have the word "bid" written on it.\n\nYou are limited to four buy bids in any turn. Additionally, if you decide to offer something for sale, you will not be able to bid on the same item in the same turn. \n\nYou can change your bids at any time until you end your turn. If you leave this screen and return later your bids will be saved.\n
3054 \nAfter the end of the turn, traders from every nation convene at the world trade market. Before trading begins, all the possible deals are compared and placed in order. \n\nEach offering country ranks the bidders in an order which is determined by the price the bidder would pay, and the strength of the diplomatic relations between potential buyer and seller. You can offer to pay extra (above the world price) using the diplomacy screen. \n\nThen the real trading begins, as the trade round for each commodity is conducted. Trade deals are presented one at a time in order to each potential buyer. Items from an offering nation are offered to their first place bidder, followed (if any remain unsold) by an offer to their second place bidder, and so on.\n\nTraders present offer sheets to you and you will accept or reject the offered commodities. You receive an additional Briefing at that time.\n
3055 \nAt the beginning of the game, prices of all commodities are at set values. Generally resources are valued at $100, materials at $300, and goods at $900. \n\nPrices are recalculated every turn prior to deals being offered. If demand outstrips supply, the price rises. If there is a glut, the price falls.\n\nThe new world price is used this turn and appears on the bid and offers screen next turn as a basis for next turn's calculations. \n
3061 \nAs your industries and infrastructure grow you will begin to need more money for expansion. Generally, great powers such as your empire make money by selling goods (armaments, hardware, furniture, and clothing) to the less developed world. \n\nIt is a good idea to establish a plan dividing the goods you produce between those for selling, and those for expanding your own population or military.\n
3062 \nThe goods available are listed in the top rows of the bid and offers screen. When you offer an item for sale a slider appears allowing control over quantity offered.\n
3063 \nOffers to sell are controlled by a brass slider to the right of the orders column. Once the slider is out, you control the quantity offered using the slider. \n\nWhile you are limited to four bids, you may offer as many different commodities as you like. The quantity you may offer is limited both by the amount you have in stock in the warehouse and by the merchant marine number. \n
3064 \nYour merchant marine carries cargo only for foreign trade. Merchant marine does not affect transport capacity within your empire. \n\nConstruct merchant ships in the shipyard to increase the amount of merchant marine. Each completed merchant ship adds more cargo space to your total merchant marine number.\n\nYour merchant marine can be intercepted by hostile great powers and in the event of war it is wise to protect it. Any undamaged naval vessels stationed in port will act as escorts for merchant marine during that turn's trade deliveries. \n\nIf your merchants are intercepted and taken or destroyed, the deals you made that relied on those merchants for pick-up or delivery will be canceled. \n
3071 \nUsing the diplomacy screen you may learn about and interact with the other nations in the world. The tabs at the sides of the lower part of the screen determine what actions you will take. \n\nIt is important to recognize that the advantages of diplomatic activity occur with the passage of time. The other countries in Imperialism are impressed by consistent and stable policies. You can only build friendly relations if you adopt a coherent strategy and stick to it. \n\nWhenever you open this screen you will begin on the information tab, a large blue I. With this tab selected, you cannot take diplomatic actions. Instead you will be learning about other countries and the world diplomatic situation.\n\nThe tabs on the right hand side lead to action interfaces. Here you may set trade policies, provide grants to the leaders of other lands, and make diplomatic overtures such as non-aggression pacts. \n\nAt the beginning of the game, your options are limited. In most games you should begin by building Trade Consulates.
3072 \nWith the information tab selected you see four small symbols in the center of the lower part of the screen. Each of these symbols leads to different information: diplomatic status (such as treaty, war, or peace); relationship, (a measure of hostility or friendliness); and trade policies. \n\nThis information will change according to which country is selected on the map. Your nation is selected by default. Click the map to change the selected country. \n\nClicking on the tab directly beneath the information tab lets you know which powers are winning the game. Approximately every ten years, a world council of governors meets, nominates two great powers, and then votes to determine if one power enjoys the support of a majority of governors. \n\nAt the beginning of the game the council has not yet met.\n
3073 \nThe three tabs to the right of the screen are all used for giving orders. However, at the beginning of the game the top tab--diplomatic overtures-- is most useful to you. On this screen appear seven color coded scrolls.\n\nTo make a diplomatic overture, first select one of these scrolls, then click on the nation you select for the overture. A small symbol appears on the map within the borders of that nation. \n\nBecause you already have embassies with great powers, you cannot establish trade consulates with them. Embassies include trade consulates within them. You can always declare war on anyone you wish.\n\nIf you want to cancel an overture click on the icon that appears in that nation. It will disappear. Nothing is final until you end your turn. Overtures you make this turn take effect next turn. Some overtures may be refused by other nations, but trade consulates and declarations of war cannot be refused.\n
3074 \nTrade Consulates cost $500, but provide substantial benefits for the price.\n\nThe most immediate benefit is the right to set trade policies such as subsidies to encourage trade. Trade policies are set using the tab with the ship icon on the right side of the screen.\n\nOnce a new trade consulate is established in a nation, each completed trade deal between your Empire and this nation causes an improvement of your diplomatic relationship. If relations improve enough, some of the council votes of the other nation might go to you. Eventually, their leaders could decide to join your Empire peacefully. \n\nA trade consulate also allows the later construction of an embassy. Embassies, although quite costly, offer even greater control over diplomacy.
3075 \nA declaration of war must be made before any hostile action is taken. You cannot invade other's provinces, blockade their ports, or sink their fleets until you declare war. Lands you conquer always vote with you if you are nominated by the Council for victory.\n\nOn the other hand, wars harm your diplomatic relations with other nations who are friendly to the country you attack. The penalties will be greater when you attack countries who have reason to believe you are friendly, such as a signed non-aggression pact.\n
3081 \nAs the Industrial Revolution barrels ahead, new discoveries become available to all Great Powers. Technological advances provide you a chance to improve the capabilities of your industry, agriculture, or military.\n\nFew nations can afford to retool their industries to take advantage of every technology as soon as it is invented. The strategy lies in selecting which technologies to invest in, deciding which are most beneficial for your situation. \n
3082 \nThe Technology Investment screen displays small pictures of both the technologies you have invested in, and those still available for investment. As new technologies become available, they will appear at the top of the list. By the end of the game, there will be several pages to view.\n\nClick the picture of a technology to view detailed information on the inventor and history of the discovery.\n\nThe other columns provide information about the technology, including the benefits of investing in it.\n
3083 \nClick on the purchase button to invest in a new technology. You may cancel your purchase at any time prior to the end of your turn. \n\nYou will receive an announcement about the new technology when the research is completed.\n\nNo purchase buttons are shown at the start of the game because no new technologies have become available yet.\n
3084 \nAvoid purchasing new technology until you can use it. \n\nFor example, there is little benefit gained in purchasing the spinning jenny, which permits farmers and ranchers to increase cotton and wool production, unless you have already built a farmer and/or a rancher and improved your production up to the maximum amount without the spinning jenny.\n
3101 \nYou should set your policies towrds other countries based on three geopolitical factors. \n\nFirst, use the trade information icon on the Diplomacy screen to determine which other countries produce the most valuable resources.\n\nSecond, view the world map on the Diplomacy screen to determine which countries geographic location should factor into your strategy.\n\nThird, use the relationships icon on the Diplomacy screen to learn how other countries feel about each other. You should set similar policies towards countries that like each other.
3111 \nOnce you have trade consulates your diplomatic controls expand. You are able to establish embassies, and set trade policies with the trade consulate nations.\n\nThe trade policies tab is used to grant trade subsidies to the nations where you have trade consulates. This will encourage those nations to trade with you first. As each trade deal is made relations between your country and the Minor Nation will improve further.\n\nThe diplomatic overtures tab is used to establish embassies.\nEmbassies immensely increase your diplomatic options and pave the way for eventual peaceful investment in and colonizing of the Minor Nation.\n\nOnce you have an Embassy you may use the grants tab to offer money to the other nation s leaders. These bribes lead to rapid improvement in relations. It is best not to question how this money is spent.
3112 \nOn the information screen (select the tab with the blue I) you see small white square with a green $ in nations with trade consulates. \n\nTo learn about the commodities these nations produce select the small ship at the bottom center of the screen, and then click on one of the nations showing your trade consulate icon. You see a list of major exports.\n\nAs you become more friendly with this nation you will gradually be able to rely on deliveries of some or all of these commodities. You can increase the likelihood of trades by granting these nations trade subsidies.\n
3113 \nSelect the large tab on the right side with the ship icon. This takes you to your trade policies screen. Here, you grant trade subsidies to favored trading nations. \n\nSelect the amount of the subsidy you wish to provide by clicking on the green circle. Then click on the nation you wish to subsidize. You see a small green circle confirming the subsidy. To cancel the subsidy, click on this icon. \n\nA subsidy provides a percent change to the world price on all commodities traded with that nation. If you are selling, the percent change will reduce the price. If you are buying, the price you pay will increase. \n\nNations are much more likely to trade with you when they receive these subsidies.\n
3114 \nThe granting of a trade consulate to a minor nation gives you the right to build an embassy there. Although you may not be able to afford it now, embassies are extremely valuable.\n\nUse the overtures (scroll) tab on the right side to establish an embassy. Click on the embassy scroll and then the nation selected for the embassy. A small diplomat's hat will appear confirming the order.\n\nIt costs $1000 to build each embassy. Embassies permit full-fledged diplomatic relations including granting foreign aid, pacts and other treaties, and the possibility of armed intervention if the minor nation is invaded.\n\nOnly those minor nations with embassies will ever consider joining your Empire voluntarily.\n
3115 \nGenerally, select a few minor nations for diplomatic action. They should produce resources you are interested in, and offer useful geographical advantages for your long range plans. \n\nRapidly establish trade consulates and embassies in these nations, and try to maintain friendly relations with other nations that these selected nations like. If you start a war, do so far away from your trading partners.\n\nYour goal is to become the favorite great power of a minor nation. Once you are the favorite great power, you have a good chance of eventual peaceful control of their country.\n
3121 \nYou have ended your turn and the world market is now open. You now receive offers from nations selling the types of commodities that you tried to buy on the bid and offers screen. \n\nAfter each offer is acted upon by you (the potential buyer) any commodities remaining unpurchased are passed on to other nations that bid on those commodities.\n\nOf course you might not be the first buyer in line. The offers you see may already have been passed up by other nations acting ahead of you.\n
3122 \nThe offer sheet appears on the left side of the desk. It provides simple information on the current offer. \n\nTo obtain more information about the market, click on the small tabs on the trade book. As the tab is selected the trade book opens to a two page display which supplies details on the world market in that commodity. \n\nThe left page lists the nations offering to sell the commodity and the quantity each one is offering. The row of small flags beneath the offering nation s name shows the order in which the nation will offer the commodity to the various bidders.\n\nOn the right page is a list of bidding nations with the amount of merchant marine each currently has available. A Great Power with no remaining merchant marine cannot accept any deals regardless of their position in line.\n
3123 \nClick on the picture of your Foreign Minister to learn his recommendations and to view details of your country s needs. \n\nThe first click on the picture brings up the Minister s opinion about whether the current offer should be accepted, and why. The second click on the picture changes the displayed advice to provide more exact details on your Great Power s stockpiles and need for commodities.\n\nAs you become a more experinced trader, you will probably find the details more useful than the Minister s recommendation.
3124 \nThe trade book is an informational tool. The only orders you can give are on the offer sheet itself. \n\nAs each offer is presented, you can accept any number up to the amount offered, as long as you have merchant marine available to pick up the items. Change the number in the box and then click the accept seal shown on the offer sheet. To reject a deal, click the reject seal. \n\nIf you decide that you have purchased enough cotton, for example, check the box "done buying this commodity". You will be presented with no more cotton offers this turn.\n
3125 \nA basic strategy of trade is wise use of your merchant marine. As each offer is accepted, the amount of merchant marine remaining this turn goes down, as displayed by the number beneath the ship icon.\n\nCommodities are always traded in the order shown on the bid and offers screen and in the tabs on the side of the trade book. \n\nThis means that if you desperately need iron, for example, you may need to stop accepting all the wool you can get, to reserve some of your limited merchant marine for the iron coming later.\n\nYou should use the trade book (iron tab) to look at the market in iron. If one of the nations selling iron shows your flag as its top bidder, you will definitely receive an iron offer this turn. You should save some merchant marine for it.\n
3131 \nUse the Transport Ledger to determine which resources will be transported from the countryside to the industry of your nation. \n\nTo increase the number and quantity of items shown on this screen, use your Engineer to build more railroads, depots and ports and other civilian units to increase the output of the terrain tiles.\n\nIt can be a good idea to build your new depots or ports near the towns in each of your provinces. These towns can develop industrial output of their own once connected to the transport network.\n\n
3132 \nThe Transport Ledger displays sliders showing the amount to be transported this turn of every commodity currently available.\n\nUnder some of the sliders you may see a red or green line. A green line means that industry has a demand for that item and the demand is being satisfied by the amount shown on the slider. A red line indicates an unsatisfied demand from industry.\n\nOn the lower right of the page is a colored bar showing the total transport capacity (freight cars and barges) you are using and the total you have available. This number is a limit. The total amount shown on all the sliders can never be more than the amount of transport capacity you have.\n\nHot text in the upper right of the screen helps you identify these displays.\n
3133 \nGiving orders on the transport ledger involves making the best use of your limited transport capacity.\n\nUsually at the beginning of the game, you will have enough transport capacity to move all your resources. This will not be true for long. You will need to produce more transport capacity using the railyard on the industry screen.\n\nWhen the available commodities outnumber the total transport capacity, you will need to choose how to allocate transport capacity.\n\nUse the arrows at the ends of the sliders to lower the amount of one item, or to raise the amount of another item that is desperately needed by industry.\n
3134 \nYou may find yourself short of one type of food (such as fruit) and with extra of another type (such as grain). This is common at the beginning of the game.\n\nConsider transporting extra food. Industrial workers who demand a food you are short on can still survive on the unwanted extra food, even though they will refuse to work on that turn. The alternative is starvation and the permanent loss of the worker.\n\nIf you don't need the extra food for the workers, it can be made into canned food on the industry screen. Canned food is useful as a food reserve and for encouraging migration from the countryside to serve your industry.\n
3135 \nConsider the needs of industry, and the resources already available (shown on the transport ledger) when planning the next task of your Engineer civilian. \n\nWhenever possible, site new ports and rail depots so that their one tile radius includes several commodities that you will find useful. Avoid constructing new depot whose radius overlaps the radius of old ones.\n\nAlthough ports are more expensive than depots, it is often a good idea to build one on a coast distant from your capital. This port can provide a quick entrance to an entire new region, saving a great deal of time that would be spent building railroads across the whole country.\n
3141 \nThe basic strategy of industry is to balance three variables as closely as possible: labor, industrial capacity, and arriving resources and materials. If you use valuable assets building up one of these three, but not the others, those assets are wasted until the other variables are also expanded. Your growth rate is highest when all three increase at the same rate. \n\nLabor increases using money and paper in the Trade School, and using canned food, furniture, and clothing in the capitol building.\n\nIndustrial capacity increases using steel and lumber to expand each mill or factory individually.\n\nThe amount of arriving resources grows as you develop your transport network, increase your transport capacity, develop trade partners, and build additional merchant marine.\n\n
3142 \nEach production dialog box displays the production equation for that factory or mill. Red Xs near an item in the equation indicate shortages which prevent further use of an industry this turn. \n\nEach industry has a listed capacity referring to the maximum amount of the end product that can be made in one turn. For example, even if you have plenty of iron, coal, and unused labor, you will not be able to produce more than 2 units of steel per turn in a capacity 2 steel mill. \n\nAnimations of the factories and mills on the screen let you know that they are in operation without requiring you to click on the center and view the dialog.\n\n
3143 \nWhen you decide to expand the capacity of an industry click on the gold button in the upper right part of the production box. You will see an expansion dialog. You are informed of the cost of the expansion and asked to confirm or cancel. \n\nAll industry expansions require lumber and steel. If you do not have sufficient materials for expansion you will be forced to cancel. When you have ordered expansion a build icon will appear in the production box and scaffolds will be placed around the building. Next turn the expansion will be completed. \n\nIf you decide to use the lumber and steel for something else, expansion orders can be canceled by re-entering the expand screen on the same turn you ordered expansion.\n\n
3144 \nThe Railyard is a special industrial center for building transport capacity out of lumber and steel located near the top right of the screen.\n\nAs your mills, factories, and population expand you will see the need for more resources each turn. Transport capacity is the amount of resources you can bring to industry in one turn. From the transport screen you control how your transport capacity is used, but to increase the overall amount you must use the railyard. \n\nThe railyard is limited only by the amount of labor, lumber, and steel you want to dedicate to increasing transport. Otherwise, it functions just like other industries.\n\n
3145 \nThe six industrial centers continue to draw resources and materials from the warehouse and produce new commodities each turn at the level you set, as long as the resources and labor are available.\n\nThis means you need to visit these centers only when you have expanded the industry and want to increase production, or you need the materials, resources, or labor elsewhere and want to decrease production.\n\nEven if resources fall below requirements the industry remembers the amount you ordered, and in subsequent turns will attempt to fulfill the original demands. However, when the production box is opened, even if the orders are not changed, the production demand automatically re-sets to the level shown in the slider.\n\nOrders in for the railyard, food processing, capital, trades school, and all three unit construction sites are not saved to the next turn.\n\n
3151 \nThree buildings on the Industry screen are used to build units: the Shipyard, for building navies; the University, for building civilians; and the Armory, for building land forces. \n\nUsing the cursor and the hot text to the upper right, you can locate each of these centers.\n\n
3152 \nEach unit production center displays the cost of the unit to be constructed and the amount of those items currently available. You also see information about the functions or quality of the units you could order constructed. \n\nWarships tend to cost more in commodities such as lumber or armaments, but both civilians and military regiments actually deduct workers from the labor force. Civilians, in fact, are most expensive because they always require an expert worker.\n\n
3153 \nOrdering a new unit is simple--just click on the right arrow under the picture of the unit to be constructed. If you have the required money and commodities you will see a number 1 appear under the unit's picture. If you don't have the commodities in stock, the items you lack will be shown in red text. \n\nAs with other orders, you are free to change your mind. Click the other (left) arrow under the unit to cancel the order and restore the items to the stockpile. The new units will be built when you end the turn and they will appear on the map next turn.\n\n
3154 \nBe cautious about building too many units at the beginning of the game unless you have a specific plan or need that requires the construction. Each worker deducted from the city must be replaced through migration and training or your labor supply will decline. Even ships have a hidden cost. Each unit of lumber put in a warship means less lumber for industrial expansion. \n\nYou must balance the need for new units against the need for economic expansion. \n\n
3155 \nYour defense minister monitors the growth of other empire's military and naval muscle. He will provide warnings of threatening moves. \n\nWhen you see these warnings you must be ready to expand your forces rapidly. This means stockpiling arms and cash so that laborers can be conscripted into the army immediately. \n\nRemember that you can recover from any disaster except the loss of your capital city. Defense forces should be concentrated there if you suspect you are weaker than other empires or if there are large enemy fleets off your coast.\n\n
3161 \nThis screen appears whenever another country makes a diplomatic overture that requires a response from you. You may receive offers of peace when you are at war, offers of alliances and pacts from other great powers, and offers from minor nations to intervene in a war on their behalf.\n\n
3162 \nInformation presented on the offer sheet beneath the map informs you of the type of offer your Foreign Minister received.\n\nWhile looking at the sheet, the map provides geographic information about the countries involved. For more information use the Blue "i" tab on the left of the offer sheet. Once you have brought up the "i" tab you obtain information on this screen by selecting various countries and using the icons in the lower-middle part of the screen.\n\nMost of this information is similar to what you obtain when conducting diplomacy. However, during this offers phase you are able to see small icons on the map representing all the current diplomatic offers of all the Great Powers.\n\nThis information should aid you in advance planning. For example, while considering an offer of alliance from one power, you can look at the map and see that you will receive an offer from another power as well.\n\n\n\n\n\n
3163 \nThe only orders you can give with the diplomacy offers are to accept the offer or to reject it. Clicking on one of the two seals advances you to the next offer or the next screen. Be especially alert for offers which have consequences reported on the sheet.\n\nConsequences of alliances or intervention may be wars, or the unintended breaking of another alliance.\n
3164 \nAlliances are only made between Great Powers. Pacts, while they can be accepted by minor nations, will never be offered by them. A Minor Nation is always glad to receive a pact from Great Power.\n\nWhen you offer to a non-aggression pact you are making a promise not to declare war on that nation. This means that as long as you keep your word, you will be unable to attack that nation in any way. Of course, you can break the pact and declare war but the diplomatic cost of war (mainly penalties involving world opinion) are much more severe when you break a pact.\n\nAgreeing to an Alliance is more serious. You are making a promise to declare war on any great power that declares war on your ally. The ally is making the same promise to you. Should you refuse declare war and uphold the alliance, severe diplomatic penalties apply. However, if the ally is the aggressor, not the defender, you may decide not to support the ally and suffer no penalty.\n\n
3165 \nWhen a Minor Nation has been attacked by a Great Power its leaders often seek a friendly Great Power to declare war on their enemy and protect their nation. This action by a Great Power is called intervention.\n\nYou receive offers to intervene only if you are the Great Power with the best relationship to the attacked Minor Nation and only from a Minor Nation in which you have an embassy.\n\nIf you accept the offer to intervene, you pay all normal penalties for declaring war on the Great Power. However, the benefits of intervention are significant. You immediately acquire the Minor Nation as a colony. You gain control over all their armed forces and can deploy more regiments to defend their provinces. \n\n
3171 \nWhether you resolve battles on the tactical battlefield, or with strategic combat resolution, all battle results are reported here.\n\nYou can review these results again during your next turn by clicking on the question mark button in the upper right corner, and then clicking on the battle report button. \n\n
3172 \nThe Battle Report screen provides results on all the battles you fought this turn. The area under the map displays the location of the battle, the forces of the winner and the loser, and lets you know which units, if any, were killed.\n\nGreen map icons represent a victory, while red means defeat. The flashing icon is the location of the currently displayed battle.
3173 \nYou can cycle through your battles, if you see more than one, by clicking on the arrow buttons at the bottom of the screen, or by clicking directly on the icons on the map. \n\nYou see more information on a battle by clicking on the large wooden 'i" button in the center of the page. This brings up detail on the two forces which fought the battle.\n\n
3181 \nFighting on a tactical battlefield gives you the best chance for a crushing victory over your enemies. This option may be turned off using the preferences screen at any time during your turn. Once you enter the tactical battlefield, you are committed to fighting there, but you may choose to let your Defense Minister handle the battle for you.\n\nOnce both sides have deployed their forces the battle is fought in a sequence of unit turns based on the initiative rating of the individual units. This means that several of your units might act before any of the enemy regiments; or, that the enemy forces might all act before you can. Generally, cavalry acts before infantry, and infantry acts before artillery. However, these rules are modified by the experience rating of the regiments and the qualities of the leaders on each side.\n\n
3182 \nThe toolbar displays the active regiment and the regiment's selected target. Near these unit pictures you see any medals won by either of the units. These medals measure the regiment's experience.\n\nOn the battlefield you see an area of small pips showing the radius of potential movement of the active unit. If a pip is green, it means that no enemy can fire into that tile presently and that the active unit can move there without any fear of immediate damage. A red pip means that enemy units can fire into that space.\n\nEach regiment's display on the battlefield includes a damage bar. The green portion of this bar tells you roughly how many of the regiment's troops are able to fire. As the regiment is fired upon part of the troops perish (red on the bar) and part of the troops decide to flee (yellow on the bar)\n\nIt is likely that the morale of the regiment will break before total destruction occurs. When the entire bar turns yellow and red, the regiment can only run or surrender.\n\n
3183 \nBecause the order of movement and firing on the battlefield is based on initiative, regiments must act or not act when they get the chance. Often it is useful to avoid firing on your turn, preserving that regiment's fire for opportunity fire during an opponent's move. \n\nWhen one of your regiments is selected you fire by placing the cursor over an enemy in range and clicking. You see the cursor change to a crosshairs if the target is in range, and to a red X over a crosshairs if out of range.\n\nYou move an active regiment by clicking on a green or red pip on the battlefield. Because the enemy can fire during your move there is no way to take a move back. However, you can move in multiple steps clicking each time a little bit nearer to the enemy. There is no reason that an active unit has to move its entire distance all at once.\n\nAn active cavalry regiment stays active until you click on the unit itself to end its turn or until it has fired its weapons and used its entire movement. Infantry and Light Artillery cannot move after firing, but can move and then fire. Heavy Artillery cannot both move and fire in the same turn, but light artillery can. \n\n
3184 \nFor the most part you command your regiments on the battlefield using the cursors and clicking on the map. The three wooden toolbar buttons provide additional options.\n\nThe top button is a targeting shortcut. When one of your regiments is active, click repeatedly on this button to cycle through all enemy units in range. This reduces the amount of scrolling you need to do.\n\nThe middle button ends the turn of an active unit. If you choose to reserve your fire or to move only part of your movement points, you can click here to advance the game to the next active unit. You may also click directly on the active unit.\n\nThe lower button orders all of your forces to retreat. You should click here only if the battle is lost and retreating might save the lives of some valuable regiments.\n\nAt the very bottom of the toolbar is a picture of your defense minister. Clicking here permanently turns control of the battle over to him.\n\n
3185 \nThe best way to conduct an attack is concentration of force against a small number of defenders. Use light cavalry and light infantry to draw fire from stationary defenders, and then move in your heavy forces and destroy the line of enemies one by one. Use your artillery to weaken the better enemy defenders before your best pieces close with them.\n\nOn defense, even though you benefit from entrenchments, you must fight actively. Try to hit attacking artillery with light cavalry and reserve your artillery to hit the enemy grenadiers and heavy cavalry when they get close enough. Be willing to retreat and save your men for a counter-attack unless you are defending your capital. \n\n
3191 \nThe Council of Governors meets approximately every ten years to vote on potential winners of the game. The first step in this process is the nomination of two great powers. The Council Makes this determination largely on the basis of industrial might.\n\nOnce two great powers are nominated the governor of each province votes for one of the two nominees or else abstains. At the beginning of the game most governors will abstain unless their own country is one of the nominees.\n\nAs the game continues fewer governors will abstain. When one great power receives the votes of over half of the total provinces that power wins the game.\n\n\n
3192 \nThe first screen depicts the council meeting hall. Here you witness the nomination of the two leading great powers. \n\nOn the second screen of the meeting you witness the voting of the council. Votes are entered on the ledger at the bottom and shown by small flags on the map. The votes come in order of the strength of that governor's support. For instance, if your great power is nominated you will notice your own home provinces voting for you first. As the process continues more reluctant governors elsewhere in the world may join your tally.\n\n
3193 \nSince you do not directly control the votes of governors in your provinces, it is not possible to give orders on the Council of Governors Screen. \n\nYou are guaranteed the support of all owned provinces if your great power is nominated. However, if two other great powers are the nominees, governors of your provinces decide to vote or abstain based on the performance of the rulers of the nominated great powers.\n\nTo ensure that your nation is nominated, you need to develop a lead in industrial strength. To obtain maximum support once you are nominated you need military success, diplomatic success, or a mixture of both.\n\n\n
3194 \nThe tally of votes provides information on different categories of votes earned by the two nominated powers. This provides information on the strengths and weaknesses of your foes according to world opinion.\n\nThe first category shows the total provinces in the homeland of the great power plus those provinces conquered militarily since the game began. Since all provinces in this section automatically vote when their nation is nominated this category provides exact information on the size of the two top powers and on their past military successes.\n\nThe second category colonies represents the total number of provinces colonized by the nominated great power. Since all provinces in this section automatically vote when their nation is nominated this category provides exact information on the size of the colonial empires of the top great powers and on their past diplomatic successes. \n\n
3195 \nThe tally of votes provides information on different categories of votes earned by the two nominated powers. This provides information on the strengths and weaknesses of your foes according to world opinion.\n\nThe third category on the vote tally votes from other great powers is a measure of the military potential of the top great powers. the governors of provinces controlled by great powers will add their votes to the tally out of fear.\n\nThe fourth category votes from minor nations is a measure of the diplomatic strength of the top two great powers. Governors in provinces controlled by minor nations consider the diplomatic strength of the great powers when deciding to vote or abstain.\n\n
3211 \nAt the end of every trade offers phase, before the new turn begins, the Deal Book is displayed. If you want to look at the Deal Book again during your turn, it may be brought up through the Help and Information dialog.\n\n\n
3212 \nThe Deal Book lists all your country's trades, as well as potential deals that did not happen because you rejected them or ran out of merchant marine. It also provides an end of turn summary, called the bottom line, that reports your profits or losses for the turn.\n\n
3213 \nEventually your overseas profits add to the positive side on the bottom line balance sheet. Overseas profits are money you make when another country sells something, or mines some gold or gems. \n\nThe only way to earn this beneficial bonus is by purchasing land in a Minor Nation with a Developer and then increasing production of the land with your other civilian units. \n\nThe profits produced by the lands you develop are split between your Great Power, and the nation where the land is located.
3214 \nSometimes you may spend too much money and end a trade offers phase in the red. The Deal Book informs you of this fact and lists your borrowing limit. If you go over this limit you will receive a warning about a forced sale of your warehouse stockpile. The prices paid during a forced sale are quite low and it is a good idea to avoid it if you can. Additionally, you cannot purchase anything during your turn, nor can you give orders that require an expenditure, as long as you are too far in debt.\n\nOn the other hand, there is nothing wrong with borrowing as long as you stay within your credit limit. In fact, since the world banking community likes to have your country in debt, every time you borrow and then repay the money your credit limit for the future increases. Credit limit also depends on the industrial output and income of your Great Power.\n
3221 \nWhen a land garrison is selected, the encampment of the garrison shows a flashing white outline. The units in this garrison appear in the toolbar display. The first step, using the toolbar, is to select the regiments you want. You are selecting units for movement orders; it is not necessary to give regiments orders to stay behind and defend. Units remaining at the end of the turn will automatically defend the province from attack.\n\nThe toolbar arrows do not permit you to select particular regiments of a single category. If you want to make a more specific selection of forces you can use the Garrison Book. This is necessary, for instance, if you want a particular veteran regiment of Heavy Cavalry, among several present in the garrison, to conduct an attack.\n
3222 \nThere are two ways you can move your selected army on the map in your own provinces. The cursor shows the type of movement a click on a given province would order. \n\nIf you want to move to an adjacent friendly province, click on that province with the marching soldier cursor. \n\nIf you want to move the selected army further, but still in friendly territory, click with the train cursor which appears over the distant friendly province. Your total amount of transport capacity limits the number of military units you can move by train in one turn. You increase the number you can move by building more transport capacity in the railyard on the Industry screen. Moving regiments does not in itself use capacity already assigned to transport resources.\n
3223 \nTo enter a province you do not own, you must first declare war on the owner of the province. On subsequent turns, any adjacent units may attack. You cannot attack unless your forces are adjacent to the target province. The attack is made by clicking on the target province with the crossed swords cursor.\n\nWhen you have ordered the attack a large red military arrow appears in the enemy province. To cancel the attack click on the military arrow with the question mark cursor.\n
3224 \nThe most dangerous movement is an attack across the water. Superficially, this seems exactly like an attack on an adjacent province. Once your fleets establish a landing site, you select land forces and use the crossed sword attack cursor to order them to move directly across the seas to the enemy province. \n\nHowever, on the turn that this movement is ordered, your land forces are extremely vulnerable to hostile fleet interception. Any enemy fleets entering or present in the sea zone with the landing site automatically intercept and battle the landing fleets. If any of your ships are sunk, some of your land forces may be drowned.
3225 \nThe first military command button, which appears as a flag, brings up a detailed book on the selected garrison. You may also view this book by clicking with the blue question mark cursor directly on the garrison encampment.\n\nThe garrison book shows the state of the selected garrison, including the names, the health, and the medals of each regiment. By clicking on the picture of a unit you may select or unselect it individually. As you select a unit its notation changes from "Defending" to the notation "Available" which means that the regiment can be ordered to move or attack when you click on another province. Notice also that the toolbar numbers of selected units change as you select units on the Garrison Book screen.\n
3231 \nWhen a fleet is selected the ship icon shows a flashing white outline. The ships in this fleet appear in the toolbar display. The first step, using the arrows in the toolbar, is to select the ships you want to command. You select ships for movement or mission orders. \n\nNormally, all the ships are selected by default. If you want only a portion of your ships to perform a mission or move, you can control which ships are selected with the arrows in the toolbar next to each ship type. \n\nWhen you give movement orders, the ships not contained in your selection remain behind. The toolbar arrows do not permit you to select particular ships of a single category. If you want to make a more specific selection of forces you can use the fleet book.
3232 \nOnce you have made a selection of ships using the toolbar or the fleet book, use a map cursor to command it. The map cursors allow you to assign your selected fleet in four different ways: movement to another sea zone plus three kinds of missions. \n\nTo move the fleet, click on a new sea zone with the ship's wheel cursor. This cursor does not appear in the fleet's current sea zone. If the new zone is out of range you see a red slashed circle cursor; you cannot move the fleet that far in one turn. \n
3233 \nIn its current sea zone a fleet can patrol, attempting to intercept all hostile ships, by using the telescope cursor. A fleet can blockade a designated port, using a ship with a red X cursor, by clicking near the port when that cursor appears. Both of these commands are used against enemy forces. A blockade has greater chance of success against ships that enter or leave the selected port. A blockade does not seek other ships in the sea zone, but hostile patrolling fleets can intercept your blockaders. \n\nBoth blockades and patrols can result in battle against hostile warships or in interception of merchant ships. When merchants are intercepted the intercepting forces can sink or capture the merchant ships. Additionally, it is possible to capture the cargo being carried. These details are summarized in the battle report at the end of the turn.\n
3234 \nNear the coast you see a cannon cursor. This allows the fleet to establish a site for a later landing of army forces. When you assign fleets to this mission, you are accepting the potential of automatic interceptions by enemies. Any enemy fleet that enters the sea zone or patrols in the sea zone can find and intercept your forces. You must be prepared to defeat these attacks. \n\nYou cannot move land forces on the turn the landing site is established. Land forces can be moved to the selected enemy province on any subsequent turns as long as you maintain the landing site by keeping ships in that sea zone.\n
3241 \nImproving the relationship between your Great Power and at least one Minor Nation eventually results in the reward of a Developer Unit. \n\nThe fastest route to improved relations with a Minor Nation is to establish a trade consulate, conduct frequent trades, build an embassy, offer a non-aggression pact, and offer grants to the Minor Nation s leaders. Since your wealth is limited concentrate on a few Minor Nations.\n\nLike other civilians, the Developer works on terrain tiles. However, his role is to purchase the tiles in other countries so that your other civilians can work there. \n\nEach Great Power may have only one Developer Unit at a time.
3242 \nAlthough the Developer can buy land in any Minor Nation where you establish an Embassy, it is generally best to purchase tiles in a country which considers your Great Power to be its favorite trading partner. \n\nUsing this strategy, the resources produced by the land your Developer purchases will be guaranteed to your Great Power in trade provided you enter a bid on that commodity.\n\nOn the other hand, if another Great Power, as favorite trading partner, buys the resources first you gain some money for the sale but do not increase your supply of resources for industry.
3243 \nYour Developer is able to purchase land which contains wool, cotton, hardwood timber, coal, iron, gold, or gems, and, eventually, oil. He cannot purchase land which produces only food.\n\nTo purchase a parcel of land with your selected Developer look for the money bags cursor, and click on the land you want. Once you see the asking price for the land you can confirm the purchase or change your mind.\n\nTo purchase terrain containing oil or minerals your Prospectors must first find the resources. Like Developers, Prospectors can go abroad only after you establish Embassies.\n\n
3244 \nOnce you purchase land with a Developer, your other civilians can build improvements on the land. These units work on terrain in Minor Nations just as they do in your own territory.\n\nAs you purchase new technology, you can send your civilians back to land you own in Minor Nations to further increase the resource output of the land.\n\nSince Minor Nations have their own transport networks, your Engineer never needs to work in a Minor Nation.
3245 \nOverseas profits are reported each turn on the Deal Book. You earn these profits for any resources produced on land you own in a Minor Nation that are sold by that Minor Nation during trade. \n\nIf your Great Power purchases the resources itself, the overseas profits are a refund of the money you paid for them. This refund can reach 100% if you obtain a Minor Nation as a colony.\n\nIf another Great Power buys the resources, the money you earn comes from the pockets of your foe.
3251 \nYou may set your preferences for sound, music, minister briefings, warnings, and combat resolution using this screen. Generally, if a button is dark that preference is turned off. \n\nFor sound and music, you can drag the dark region partly across the button to set volume to intermediate levels.
3252 \nBattles may be resolved tactically or strategically. With tactical battles on, you maneuver your individual regiments on a battlefield against the regiments of your enemies.\n\n
3253 \nMinister briefings may be set to arrive automatically when you go to a new screen. Some screens have several briefings which appear in sequence with each subsequent turn. You should turn this preference on if you re sure you want to read all the available help.
3261 Greetings, your Excellency. As the ruler of a burgeoning Empire you enjoy a vast amount of power over political, military, and economic affairs. These Briefings will be presented to help you learn the interfaces through which you issue your commands.
3262 You may reopen a Briefing, or reach the Imperialism help menu through the help and information button in the upper right corner of most screens. \n\nYou can take advantage of hot text messages on most screens by placing the cursor over objects or pictures. \n\nWhen you want to know more about something, right mouse click on it. Often, more information is available.
3263 \nThe world of Imperialism consists of provinces ruled by governors. To win you must obtain the support of a majority of governors. \n\nThe world-wide Council of Governors nominates two Great Powers for possible victory every 10 years. To be nominated your country must expand its industry and economic clout. Once there are two nominees all the governors in the world vote for one of the two, or abstain from voting.\n\nOwning, conquering or colonizing a province provides automatic support if your country is nominated to win. \n\nIf your country is nominated, governors in other countries may choose to support you due to your diplomatic or military successes. Generally, provinces owned by Great Powers consider military threat when deciding to vote. Minor Nation owned provinces, on the other hand, are more interested in the diplomatic prestige of the nominated Great Powers.\n\nYou might choose to play aggressively in one area of the world, and peacefully in another. A combination of military and diplomatic strategies will generally garner support the most quickly.
3264 The computer icon at the top of the toolbar on the map screen takes you to the game control menu. You should save your game every six turns or so. This menu also lets you enter the preferences screen. Here you set controls for animations, sound, music, tactical battles, and other options.
3265 As you give orders to your industry, traders, diplomats, civilian workers, and military, the rulers of other empires do the same. Your orders can be canceled at any time prior to clicking the End Turn button at the bottom of the toolbar on the map screen. When you click this button and the turn ends, the orders of all Great Powers are carried out simultaneously.
3271 \nDefend your coastline. An enemy fleet off a coastal province allows landings by enemy forces based elsewhere. A friendly navy automatically intercepts such attempts and can destroy the troops at sea.\n
3272 \nAs the game progresses, your focus shifts. Initially you are concerned with infrastructure. In the middle game you begin to focus on global relations. Toward the end you concentrate more on domination and global strategies.\n
3281 \nScroll around your country to find a good place for your capital city. The framed area around a potential site tells you what sort of terrain will be immediately available for use if you found your city there.\n\nIf you are curious about a potential city site, click on the tile. A pop-up window will inform you of the resources immediately available at that site. \n\nYou can still cancel your selection after considering this resource report.
3282 \nFood resources are the most important early in the game. The best city sites are adjacent to a mixture of grain (from farms and dry plains), meat (from seas, rivers and open range), and fruit (from orchards).\n\nYour industrial workers will consume two grain for every one meat and one fruit each turn.
3283 \nTimber is the most important industrial resource early in the game, so you should look for a site near to scrub or hardwood forest. \n\nIf the city site cannot be adjacent to forests, you should make sure that your country contains some forest within a few tiles of your city site.\n\nOther resources such as cotton or wool are not as critical to your early development as timber.
3284 \nYou should consider returning to the main menu and starting again if one or more of the following things is true:\n\n1. Your country lacks timber.\n2. Your country has a high proportion of deserts or tundra.\n3. Your country has very few hills or mountains.\n4. You cannot found a city with adequate food supplies to support at least seven workers maximum.
3285 \nClick on the large button with the curved arrow at the top of the toolbar to return to the Map Room. On this screen you have the choice of selecting a different country in this same world, or generating an entirely new world.\n\nThe first world generated as the globe spins will be the same one. Click on a different colored Great Power, and then on Start Game.\n\nClick on the globe again to create a new world. \n\n
3291 \nThe status screens provide comparisons between all the Great Powers in a variety of fields. The ratings on each screen go from top to bottom and the length of the colored bar shows how competitive the various Powers are in each category. \n\nWhen this screen first appears the two highest rated powers shown would be the nominees for victory by the council of governors if a meeting were held this turn.\n\nThe three tabs immediately below the Council Projection tab provide a breakdown of the three factors that lead to nomination by the Council and victory.\n\n
3292 \nClicking on top four tabs on the left side of the screen displays information on who is winning, first as a total, and then rated according to internal development, diplomatic success, and military power. \n\n"Interior Strength" combines elements including factory and mill capacity and actual output of goods to compare the productivity of the Great Powers economies.\n\n"Diplomatic Strength" is an average of each Great Power s relationships with all the other countries in the world.\n\n"Military Strength" is a comparison of the total armaments in each Great Power s army and navy.
3293 \nThe lowest tab on the left side labeled "Merchant Marine" compares the Powers total number of cargo holds in all merchant shipping.\n\n"World Exports" measures the total amount of items sold and delivered to other countries throughout the game so far.\n\n"Industry" is a measure of the total amount of goods (including arms) produced by each Power in the game.\n\n"Labor" compares the total labor available for industry.\n\n"Overseas Profits" measures the total amount earned through development and exploitation of Minor Nations (including colonies).\n\n"Internal Transport" is a comparison of the total transport capacity available to each Great Power on its transport ledger.
3301 You may reach the diplomacy screen from the main map by clicking on the scroll icon on the gold ribbon at the bottom of the screen.
3302 When you first bring up the diplomacy screen notice that the colored oval "i" button in the upper left is selected. This means that you are looking at the information panel of the diplomacy screen.\n\nIn the middle of the upper part of the screen you see four small vertical icons which allow you to see four different types of information while you are on this panel. As you click on these icons the map changes to display the type of information represented by each small icon.\n\nBy clicking on any country on the map you see the information about that particular country.\n
3303 The information panel can help you choose a minor nation to pursue. You could randomly select a country to try to trade with, but it is more efficient to consider what commodities it is trading.\n\nFirst make sure that you are on the information panel by clicking on the colored "i" oval. The letter i should be surrounded with white.\n\nNext, click on the lowest of the four vertical icons. This looks like a small coin.\n\nFinally, cycle through the six old world minor nations on the map (by clicking on each in turn). These nations are all colored different shades of gray. As you select each one, a list of the products it exports will appear above the map. Remember the name of the nation that seems best to you. You should consider selecting a nation with commodities currently in short supply.\n
3304 Offering a trade consulate is a diplomatic overture that increases the benefits of trading. Once you have a consulate in a minor nation, all trades with that nation improve your diplomatic relationship, and you can set helpful trade policies. Eventually, after many years of friendly trading, this nation can join your Empire peacefully.\n\nTo offer a trade consulate click on the green oval with the scroll near the top of the screen. This takes you to the overtures panel. \n\nClick on the large scroll labeled Trade Consulate. This selects the type of overture.\n\nClick on the country on the map you want to offer the consulate to. You see a coin appear over the nation on the map. Trade consulates are always accepted and cost $500.\n
3305 You cannot use the diplomacy screen to encourage trade with a country the same turn you offer the consulate. Once you have a consulate a helpful trade policy can be set.\n\nOn the diplomacy screen, click on the turquoise trade policies oval at the top of the screen. This takes you to the trade policies panel. \n\nSelect the percentage of trade subsidy you wish to grant. The larger the percentage, the more the other country will appreciate your Empire. Of course this reduces your profits and increases the cost of commodities you purchase.\n\nClick on the country on the map. A gold circle with the percentage amount appears on the screen. Trade subsidies take effect immediately.\n\nPower tip: hold the control key down while clicking on the country. The computer will automatically select the correct subsidy to place you in make you the selected countries most favored trade partner.
3311 You may reach the trade screen from the main map by clicking on the coins icon on the gold ribbon at the bottom of the screen.
3312 To buy commodities in trade you must enter a bid. You can enter bids on three or fewer commodities (research can allow you to increase that number). Bids do not guarantee that you will be able to buy what you want. By bidding you are letting the rest of the world know that you desire that commodity.\n\nTo enter a bid click on the "B" in the commodity row corresponding to the commodity you wan to buy.\n
3313 To sell commodities in trade you must enter an offer. You can enter offers on as many of your commodities as you wish. Offers do not guarantee that you will be able to sell the commodities. By offering you are letting the rest of the world know that you want to sell that commodity.\n\nTo enter an offer click on the "O" in the commodity row corresponding to the commodity you want to sell. A slider appears allowing you to set the quantity offered this turn. The quantity offered for sale cannot exceed the amount of ship cargo holds you have assigned to trade. You can see what this number is on the right side of the trade screen.
3314 When you end your turn the offers and bids of all countries in the game are compared. For commodities you bid on, you are presented with offer sheets listing the country offering the commodity, the price, and the maximum you can buy. \n\nTo accept an offer, click the accept seal. To accept a lesser amount than is offered, change the number in the gray box and then click the accept seal. \n\nTo stop seeing offers of a particular commodity, click in the No more offers of... box on the offer sheet. To reject any offer, click on the reject seal.\n\nAs you are responding to other countries' offers, those countries that bid on commodities you offered may be buying your items. You will not see an offer sheet for these deals, since it is always up to the bidder (not the offering nation) to finalize each deal.\n
3315 As each deal is finalized some of the cargo holds you have assigned to trade may be used to transport the commodities. You can keep track of how many cargo holds you have remaining by looking at the number under the ship on the right side of the screen. When the last cargo hold is used, you will receive no more offer sheets this turn. Each cargo hold can be used only once per turn.\n\nThe basic rule for pickup and delivery is that the nation who buys the commodities (the bidder) picks up the commodities in its own ships. Therefore on all deals in which you accept an offer, your Empire's cargo holds will be used up for the turn. \n\nIf the buyer is not a Great Power, they have no ships. This means that offers you (and the other Great powers) made that were purchased by tribes or minor nations require Great Power cargo holds for delivery.\n
3316 The deal summary may show that someone offered you a commodity, but you didn t ever see the offer sheet. \n\nWhen an offer is about to be made to you, the computer checks to see if you have any ships left to pickup the goods. If you don t, then you aren t shown the offer because you wouldn t be allowed to accept it. Sometimes you have fewer cargo holds than you expected because they were used to make deliveries of materials you sold to other nations. However, you are informed in the report that the country was willing to make the deal. That way you can plan to reserve ships next time if you want to.
3317 There are three reasons why you may not be seeing any trade offers: \n\n1. You haven t bid on anything. Go to the Trade Orders screen and make sure you have clicked on some buy bids.\n\n2. You don t have any ships available for picking up the goods. If that is the case, you need to free up some ships for trade. You could reduce your transport orders by ship. You could bring home an exploring ship and dock it in the capital harbor. You could build a new ship.\n\n3. No one is offering to sell the item you bid on. If that is case, bid on something else. Wool and timber are usually being offered for sale. You can check if anyone offered an item you bid on from the deal summary screen. Click on the icon of that item on the right to bring up the market summary for that item. The nations who offered it are shown on the left.
3321 Like the production and labor screens, the unit construction screen is considered part of Industry. From the main map you reach all three screens by clicking on the icon of a factory on the gold ribbon. Once you are within industry you can use all of the screens, alternating between them by using the three icons in the gold banner at the top of the screen. Labor is represented by a hammer, production is represented by a gear, and unit construction is represented by crossed flags.
3322 First, select the unit that you want to build by clicking on its picture in one of the panels on the right side of the screen. The selected type of unit appears in the large box on the left side of the screen, and the text provides details about the unit.\n\nIn the middle of this build panel are icons and numbers which tell you the cost of the unit. When you lack the necessary amount of a commodity it is shown with a red x superimposed. Above the costs you see two gold arrows and a small text box\n\nClick the right arrow to increase the number you are building, and the left arrow to decrease. The number you have ordered appears in the text box and near the unit picture on the right side of the screen. All units take one turn to build and are available for action next turn.\n\nAll military and naval units require a peasant laborer. Like workers in industry, each military or naval unit eats food each turn. If you build too many units too quickly, your industry will not have enough labor to continue to develop.
3323 First, select the unit that you want to build by clicking on its picture in one of the panels on the right side of the screen. The selected type of unit appears in the large box on the left side of the screen. All civilians cost 3 paper and $500. If you lack the required paper or money a red x will appear. \n\nClick the right arrow to increase the number you are building, and the left arrow to decrease. The number you have ordered appears in the text box and near the unit picture on the right side of the screen. All units take one turn to build and are available for action next turn. Unlike military and naval units civilian units do not require a peasant for construction, nor do they eat any food.\n\nNote that it is not possible to delegate unit construction to the computer.\n
3331 Building 3 new regiments of Pikemen requires 3 available Peasant workers. If you haven t recruited more Peasants than was required in the Labor episode, you will need to do so now. \n\nEven if you have recruited enough Peasants, you may still face a shortage if they are busy working on production orders. You can tell at a glance how many Peasants you have and how many are working: under the labor icon (hammer) in the left scroll, there are two numbers which show the available labor and the total labor. Each Peasant unit represents 1 unit of labor. \n\nTo free up working peasants, go the Production panel and decrease some production orders.
3341 Early in the game it is often best to attack a relatively poorly defended province. Therefore, avoid the capitals, and avoid the provinces whose army size is shown as three tents. Pick a province whose army size is shown as two tents. Info-click on the map if you aren t sure which is a capital and which isn t.\n\nIt s also a good idea to choose a province which contains some resources you would like to develop. \n\nAlthough wars in the Old World must be declared in advance, your Empire need not provide such a warning to a New World tribe.\n
3342 Fleets can carry an invasion force whose size is equal to the number of cargo holds in the fleet. Each of your carracks has three cargo holds. Therefore, one of your ships will be able to carry the three Pikemen you made in the last episode. \n\nThose three Pikemen are pretty tough, and have a good chance of success. However, they may be defeated and have to retreat back to your own land. If you decide to send a larger force, you will have to send more than one ship.\n\nRemember not to move the last ship out of your home fleet. Although you can de-emphasize trade while conducting your invasion, at least one ship should remain behind for sea transport and/or a minimal amount of trade.\n
3343 Once you know which ships are going to conduct the invasion order them to move (using the ship's wheel cursor) to any sea zone adjacent to the province you want to invade. This may take several turns.\n\nIf the ships for your invasion force are coming from different locations on the map--that's fine--have them meet in the same sea zone adjacent to the target province. They will combine into one fleet in the sea zone.
3344 First make sure that all ships are in the same sea zone and do not have any other missions. If some of the ships are patrolling or doing some other mission in the sea zone, cancel those orders first. (To cancel an unwanted mission click on the fleet icon when the question mark cursor is shown. A pop-up box appears informing you of the fleet's current mission. Click the Rescind button on the dialog box.)\n\nYou should select the invasion fleet and make sure all ships in the fleet are selected using the toolbar arrows. Remember that ships in a fleet are selected for a mission by increasing the number of ships shown in the gray box in the toolbar. Get those numbers as high as possible.\n\nThen click on the adjacent province to be invaded; the cursor should look like a cannon. The fleet icon moves near the coast and a small cannon icon appears near the fleet. \n\nEstablishing a beachhead takes one turn, so you cannot send in the troops yet. End your turn and the episode will end. In the next episode you will send the troops in.\n
3345 Your 3 Pikemen are waiting while the navy establishes a beachhead. When they come up in the cycle, just click the No more Orders button, which tells the Pikemen you have no orders for this turn, but that you expect to see them come up in the unit cycle next turn.\n\nNext turn when they come up, after you have established the beachhead, you will give them the attack order.
3351 Military units are represented on the map by an encampment near the city or town in a province. Take a look at the area around your capital city. You see several small tents.\n\nMove the cursor near the tents until you see a flag & arrow cursor. With this cursor showing click on the tents. The units that make up this garrison are displayed in the toolbar.\n\nTo select a force for movement or attacking, use the small arrows in the toolbar. The arrows pointing up increase the number of units selected for action and the arrows pointing down decrease this number.\n
3352 To move (or deploy) units to a friendly province, make sure the proper units are selected and click on the province. A large green military arrow appears indicating that the force is on its way to that province. It will arrive next turn.\n\nThere is no need to deploy your units prior to attacking in this episode unless you have previously deployed some of them away from your capital. Your capital is the best place to launch the invasion because it is a port.
3353 To attack into an adjacent province, select the forces and click on the enemy province to invade with a crossed swords cursor. A red attack arrow appears on the map, confirming your orders. It is not possible to attack non-adjacent enemy provinces unless you first establish a beachhead.\n\nYou do not need to attack adjacent provinces to complete this episode since you are conducting an overseas invasion.
3354 In the last episode you used your fleet to establish a beachhead. You may select military units to invade up to the number of cargo holds in your invasion fleet.\n\nWith the proper sized force selected, scroll to the province on the map that contains your beachhead. A crossed swords cursor appears over the province. Click on the province. A red invasion arrow appears confirming your orders.
3355 When you end your turn the battle will be fought. Results are provided on a battle report screen that lists the forces involved on both sides and reports any eliminated units.\n\nYou can view details of a battle by clicking the large gold I button in the upper center of the battle report screen.\n\nIf you failed to take the province, build up and try again. Your invasion remains on station until you reassign it or the invasion succeeds.
3361 You may reach the technology screen from the main map by clicking on the compass icon in the gold ribbon at the bottom of the screen.\n
3362 A new project is started by moving a listed "researchable" technology from the right side of the screen to one of the open available slots on the left side of the screen.\n\nFirst, to see a list of all your researchable technologies, make sure that the middle of the three gold medallions is highlighted in white. This medallion lists the technology currently available for research on the right side of the screen. Also make sure that the "show all" filter button above the listed technologies is selected. \n\nPick a technology to research from this list. Click on the compass button next to the text describing the technology. One of your available slots on the left side is filled with your selection.\n\nNow you may allocate additional cash to the project using the slider in that slot. The more cash spent, the faster you will gain the benefits of the new technology.
3363 Note: When a project is canceled all cash spent so far is lost. It is not applied to a newly selected project.\n\nClick on the skull button in the slot of the unwanted project. The slot becomes available. You will be asked to confirm.
3364 Turn control of research over to your computer advisor by clicking on the button in the gold ribbon on the top left part of the screen.\n\nIf you turn control of the technology screen over to the computer it will establish a long-term research goal for you and fill in all of your open slots. It will also allocate cash each turn.\n\nOne good way to play, especially for beginners is to allow the computer to pick the projects. Once this is done, you can take control back by clicking on the computer button. Now you have control of the cash to be spent on each project.
3365 Click on the third of the three medallions next to the scroll (nearest the bottom of the screen). \nThis lists all projects available as long-tern goals. From this list, choose a goal and click on its target icon. The technology will appear in the goal slot at the top left part of the screen.\n\nNext, click on the middle medallion. Technologies that lead to your goal are listed at the top highlighted with green text. You can now fill as many slots as desired with technologies that lead to your goal. Of course, sometimes only one technology is available that will lead to the goal you picked.\n\nUse the arrows in each research slot to allocate per turn spending to each of the selected projects.
3366 When other Great Powers already have a technology, a little flag with their country color appears in the description of that technology. You have an increased chance of learning a new technology that another country already knows about. In fact, when other countries have previously researched a technology successfully, you may put that technology in a research slot, put no money in, and still eventually learn the new technology.\n\nYour chances of stealing the knowledge of other nations in this way vastly increases if you have a spy in a country who has a technology you are researching. If you do place a spy, the flags will be marked with a tiny "s". \n\n
3371 You can tell when a unit is working because it animates. \n\nWhen the unit is finished working, the animation ends and the unit stands still. \n\nWhen a unit is selected, it appears with a flashing white outline. \n\nIf a unit appears grayed out, then it is not working, it is deploying to that tile (See What does "deploying" mean? ).
3372 "Deploying" means a unit is moving to a new tile, but isn t doing any work immediately in that tile.\n\nYou may choose to deploy a unit to move it out of the way of another unit. \n\nIn the context of army units, "deploying" means to move to another one of your provinces.
3373 Yes, you can change your orders. \n\nClick on a busy (working or deploying) civilian unit (the question mark cursor will appear). A dialog pops up that tells you what the unit is doing and gives you an opportunity to confirm or rescind your orders. \n\nIn general, throughout Imperialism II, you can always change your orders until you have ended your turn. This will be true not just for unit orders, but for trade, diplomacy, industrial, transport, technology and other orders.
3374 Your country is made up of terrain tiles, which have the potential to produce different types of resources. Grain farms appear as yellow-gold planted fields. \n\nIf you are not sure what type of terrain you are looking at, place the mouse cursor over the tile and look at the text in the upper right portion of the screen. You can also info-click on the tile (right-click or shift-click) for more detailed information. \n
3375 Builders construct improvements on most types of terrain in the game. Each improvement built makes the tile more productive. \n\nFirst, confirm that the builder is selected. On the map he flashes with a white outline, and his picture appears in the toolbar on the right side of the screen. \n\nTo order the builder to improve a grain farm move the mouse over a farm and look for a hammer cursor. Click on the tile. The builder moves into that tile and begins working on the farm. This is confirmed by a working animation. \n\nThe Builder takes two turns to improve a farm.\n
3411 Engineers build roads from the tile where they begin the turn into the adjacent tile that you click. \n\nFirst, confirm that the engineer is selected. On the map he flashes with a white outline, and his picture appears in the toolbar on the left side of the screen. To make sure that you are giving an order to build a road, look for a road cursor (a wavy brown line) over terrain tiles adjacent to the selected engineer.\n\nWith the road cursor showing over the tile where you want the road to go, click on the map. The engineer moves into that tile and begins working on the road, confirmed by a working animation. \n\nIt may take several turns to build the road, depending on the terrain. Flat terrain takes only one turn.
3412 To complete this episode your newly built farm must be on or adjacent to an unbroken road that goes to the capital city of your nation. When this is achieved the farm is connected. This means that grain from the farm is automatically used each turn to feed your population.\n
3413 Being "connected" means that the resources produced in a tile can be transported back to the capital city.\n\nA tile is considered connected if it either has connected road in it, or if it is adjacent to connected road (there are six tiles adjacent to each other tile), or if it is adjacent to a port or capital. \n\nA road is considered connected if it continues back in an unbroken line to the capital city, or to another port (which your Engineer will learn to build in a later episode).\n\nLook at the help text in the top right to see if a tile is a connected. It shows the production amount and the connection level of the tile currently under the cursor. If the "Max Transport" is more than 0, the space is "connected".
3414 As you give orders to the currently selected unit, the next available unit automatically becomes selected. This is called the unit cycle.\n\nThere are three buttons which affect the unit cycle. These buttons each give orders to the currently selected unit. \n\nClick the button on the far right to put the unit to sleep. That means the unit will stay where it is, doing nothing (in the case of civilian units, for military and naval units, that button tells them to stay still and defend). This unit will not appear automatically again in the unit cycle. If you want to give orders to a sleeping unit, you need to click on it, or you could type W to wake all the sleeping units. \n\nThe middle button tells the unit you have no orders for it this turn, but that you expect to see it appear in the cycle next turn.\n\nUse the left button when you want to give orders to this unit, but you want to wait until you ve had a chance to give orders to other units first (perhaps to get them out of the way). This button advances the unit cycle to the next unit, and puts the current unit at the back of the cycle.
3421 Your country may contain deposits of four different minerals: iron ore, copper, tin, and coal. The type of mineral that could be present depends on the type of terrain in the tile. Tin is found only in swamps. The other three are found in hills or mountains. \n\nIf you are not sure what type of terrain you are looking at, place the mouse cursor over the tile and look at the text in the upper right portion of the screen. You can also info-click on the tile (right-click or shift-click) for more detailed information. \n\nLater in the tutorial you will search other countries for additional types of minerals. \n
3422 First, confirm that the explorer is selected. On the map he flashes with a white outline, and his picture appears in the toolbar on the left side of the screen. When the explorer is selected terrain tiles you have unsuccessfully prospected are shown with a pick axe and red X icon.\n\nTo order the explorer to prospect (search for minerals) move the mouse over an unprospected hill, mountain, or swamp in your country and look for an eye cursor. Click on the tile. The explorer moves into that tile and begins prospecting, confirmed by a working animation. \n\nProspecting takes one turn. If you find a mineral this episode will end and a mineral icon will be shown in the prospected tile.\n
3431 Each turn all the terrain tiles with improvements on them produce resources. Your nation gains these resources only when they are connected to the capital city. A road connection is made when an unbroken road may be traced from a tile on or adjacent to the terrain tile all the way back to the capital city.\n
3432 Usually, you will be able to tell if an improved terrain tile is connected by looking at the map. If you are not sure, place the mouse cursor over the tile and look at the text in the upper right portion of the screen. You can also info-click on the tile (right-click or shift-click) for more detailed information. The dialog box that appears when you info-click allows you to compare production level (how many units of resources the tile is producing) with transport level (how many units are being moved to the capital each turn). \n\nA tile that is unconnected has a transport level of 0. At the beginning of the game your roads can move only one unit of resources from each tile, so your transport level for a connected tile is 1.\n
3441 You may reach the production screen from the main map by clicking on the small factory icon in the gold ribbon at the bottom of the screen.\n
3442 The blue banner at the top of the production screen is called the warehouse. It lists all the resources and commodities your nation has this turn. \n\nIf you are not sure which resource or material an icon represents, place the mouse over the icon and read the text on the gold banner in the upper right portion of the screen.\n\nWhen you end your turn, resources you have connected to your capital city on the map are moved into the warehouse for use on the next turn. Materials you make on this screen are added to the warehouse for next turn as well.\n
3443 Each of the production sliders uses different resources, but all sliders need two units of resources for every material produced.\n\nTo use a slider to make a material, click on the gold arrow at the right end of the slider. The slider bar changes color confirming the production order. You may also click within the slider bar to increase or decrease production. The resources are deducted when the orders are given, but the new material is not ready until the next turn. \n\nTo reduce an order for production click on the gold arrow to the left end of the slider. The resources are returned to the warehouse. You can change your mind about what to produce as often as you like. Production orders are not final until you end your turn.\n\nYou may choose to assign your production to the computer using the button at the top left of the screen. The sliders will be filled in automatically. There is no guarnatee that the computer will share all your short term goals (such as finishing this episode). \n
3444 The amount of any material you can produce is limited by the amount of resources you have on hand and by the amount of industrial labor available to make the materials.\n\nOn the left side of the production screen you see an icon of a peasant laborer with a number underneath him. That number tells you how many peasant laborers your industry has. Each peasant represents one unit of labor every turn.\n\nAbove the peasant laborers is an icon representing the total available labor for this turn. As you give production orders using the sliders this number goes down. Since it takes two units of labor to make one material, if this number reaches 0 or 1 you will be unable to make any more materials this turn.\n
3451 Like the production screen discussed in the last episode, the labor screen is considered part of Industry. From the main map you reach both these screens by clicking on the factory icon on the gold ribbon at the bottom of the screen. Once you are within industry you can use both screens, alternating between them by using the two icons in the gold banner at the top of the screen. Labor is represented by a hammer, while production is represented by a gear.\n\nNote that you cannot delegate the recruiting or training of labor to computer control.\n\nIn a later episode a third icon (and screen) will be added to this banner.\n
3452 On the labor screen peasants are recruited by spending the material fabric. Click on the arrow at the right end of the slider to recruit more peasants. Be cautious in the number of peasants you recruit. It is usually easy to find the fabric you need for recruiting, but each peasant eats one unit of food every turn (grain or meat) and if your population outpaces your food resources, the peasants will eventually starve.\n
3453 On the right side of both the production and labor screens you see icons representing grain and meat. Everyone in your population eats one grain or one meat every turn. Your population consists of each industrial worker, each unit in the army, and each naval unit. \n\nIn the lower left portion of the labor screen you see three boxes labeled population. The total population in these boxes equals the total amount of meat and grain eaten each turn. This food arrives from the farms and ranches you have been connecting on the main map.\n
3454 You can see on the labor screen that additional sliders will become available later in the game. These sliders are used for improving your work force through training. Peasants produce only one unit of labor per person but training increases this number, making your work force much more efficient.\n\nNew technologies are required to gain access to these training sliders. Special resources from the new world are needed each turn to keep your trained laborers productive.\n
3461 Scroll around your nation looking for flat terrain adjacent to ocean or on a river. You will want to choose one of these tiles with many other resource producing tiles around it. When constructed the port will gather developed resources from all the adjacent tiles. Remember that fish are gathered by a port from every adjacent ocean tile and every adjacent land tile containing a river.\n
3462 Engineers build ports in tiles on a river or adjacent to the sea. They cannot construct ports in hill or mountain terrain.\n\nFirst, confirm that the engineer is selected. If the engineer is not currently on the tile where you want the port built, you must deploy him to that tile. This takes one turn.\n\nTo deploy move the cursor over the tile where you want the port and look for a green arrow. This is the deployment cursor. Click on the tile. The engineer moves to the tile but does not animate. This is because no work is occurring this turn.\n\nOn the next turn a port can be ordered. With the engineer selected place the cursor in the same tile as the engineer. Click when you see a hammer cursor. A dialog appears giving construction options. Push the port button. The dialog disappears and the engineer begins to work on the port. \n
3463 First, check that your engineer is on a flat piece of terrain with a river or adjacent to the ocean. If not, deploy him to an eligible tile and build the port next turn.\n\nSecond, make sure that when you click the cursor it looks like a small hammer. It is easy to click with a question mark or an arrow cursor showing accidentally. Neither of these permit port construction. You will only be able to find the hammer cursor if the engineer is the selected unit.\n\nFinally, make sure that your warehouse contains at least five units of lumber and five units of cast iron. Ports are expensive.\n
3464 When your Empire is fully developed you will rely on numerous ports and roads to form a vast transport web. Eventually, you will establish ports on other continents and build more road networks out from these new ports.\n\nAt the beginning of the game, however, the choice of reaching a vital terrain tile with a road, or building a port nearby, can be difficult.\n\nSince ports cost the same as five tiles of road (five iron and five lumber), cost can give you a rough guideline when deciding what to do. Time is also an issue. It will take your engineer 2 turns to build a port and at least five turns to build five tiles of road. You should also consider the option of building a port near to a distant (inland) resource you need and then constructing a road from the new port to the resource. This can be less expensive and less time consuming than constructing a road all the way from your capital.\n
3471 You may reach the transport screen from the main map by clicking on the carriage icon on the gold ribbon at the bottom of the screen.
3472 The sliders on the transport screen are color coded green or blue. You need to give orders only for resources coded blue, which means they must be moved by water.\n\nGreen means that the resources represented by that slider are moved solely by land. Since land transport occurs automatically each turn there is no need for your intervention. The green (land) transport is included on the screen only so you can see how many units of each commodity you are receiving. \n\nCommodities that are moved by water at any portion of their journey to your capital are displayed as blue on this screen.\n\nTo increase or decrease your water transport click on the gold arrows to either side of a slider that has some blue on it. Alternatively you may click within the slider bar.\n
3473 To help you decide what to transport you can find out how much of a commodity your warehouse already has. Place the mouse cursor over an icon on this screen and read the text in the upper right part of the screen.\n
3474 As you change your transport orders look at the information under the ship icon on the right side of the transport screen. The ship represents the total number of cargo holds in all the ships your Empire owns. Each cargo hold can be used for only one item each turn.\n\nYou see that as transport orders are increased cargo holds are moved from the trade number and allocated to the transport number. If you reduce transport orders more cargo holds are allocated to trade. \n\nIf you run out of cargo holds you will not be able to transport more commodities by water and you will have to select those commodities you want to receive. \n\nLater episodes cover trade and building additional ships.\n
3475 You must transport enough grain and meat to feed your population. Of course, you may have a plentiful stockpile of these items in your warehouse, which means it is less urgent to transport food. The icons on the left side of the screen let you know how much food your population eats each turn. \n
3481 When being used on the main map, naval units are called fleets, even when only one ship is being ordered. \n\nFirst make sure a fleet is selected. You should see a fleet icon flashing white on the main map, and ship pictures in the toolbar. Using the arrows next to the ships in the toolbar you can change the make up of the selected fleet. Increasing the numbers between the gold arrows increases the size of the fleet you are about to give orders to.\n\nFleets move by sea zones which are separated by light blue lines on the map. Once you have used the toolbar to select the ship or ships you wish to move, clicking in a sea zone on the map will order the ships to move to that zone. However, ships can only move a certain number of zones each turn, so you must click in a sea zone where the mouse cursor looks like a ship's wheel. This means that the selected fleet can reach that sea zone during this turn.\n\nAll naval orders are easier on the zoomed out map. The magnifying glass button at the top of the toolbar takes you there.\n
3482 After you order a fleet to move into an unexplored area, you will not immediately see any changes on the map. This is because it takes the entire turn for the fleet to reach that sea zone and look around. After you end your turn, exploration takes place. Next turn the adjacent sea zones will be visible and available for naval movement. If the zone where you moved the fleet is next to the unexplored New World, coastal tiles will be revealed and you may receive a message about newly discovered resources.\n
3483 The ship's wheel cursor is used whenever you want to move a selected fleet to a new sea zone. There are four other things a fleet can do within the same sea zone where it starts its turn. These are called missions and each one is ordered using a different mouse cursor.\n\nClicking with a telescope cursor over the sea zone orders the fleet to patrol the sea zone, looking for enemy ships.\n\nClicking with a red X & ship icon over an enemy port orders the fleet to blockade the port.\n\nClicking with an anchor icon over a friendly port orders the fleet to anchor in the friendly port.\n\nClicking with a cannon icon over a land tile adjacent to the sea zone orders the fleet to establish a beachhead for an invasion next turn. This will be covered in a later episode.\n
3484 Like civilian units, ships are part of the unit cycle and will appear ready for orders during your turn. When a ship or ships is selected, a fleet icon flashes white on the main map, and ship pictures appear in the toolbar.\n\nSometimes a ship or a fleet may be assigned long term orders (like patrolling on station or being used for transport) which means it does not appear in the unit cycle automatically.\n\nTo select one of these fleets (allowing you to change its orders) you must place the mouse cursor over the icon of the fleet on the main map and click when the cursor appears as a pennant with an arrow or as a question mark. \n\nThe pennant and arrow immediately selects the fleet and you will see it in the toolbar. \n\nThe question mark appears when there is a need to first cancel the previous orders of the fleet. A dialog box appears allowing you to confirm or cancel the fleet's current orders. If you cancel, the fleet will be selected and ready for new orders.\n
3485 With a fleet selected click on the round button with a ship on it to open the Fleet Roster. On the open book that appears you can see each of the ships in the selected fleet. By clicking on the ship pictures you may select and unselect particular ships for orders. Although this method is slower than using the toolbar, it permits you to select particular ships.\n
3486 Use the F11 function key on the keyboard to open the Navy Roster which lists all the fleets owned by your Empire. By clicking on one of these fleets you can center the main map over that fleet and select it.\n
3491 First, confirm that the explorer is selected. On the map he flashes with a white outline, and his picture appears in the toolbar on the left side of the screen. \n\nIn Episode 3 the explorer was used to prospect. When used in the New World, he can both reveal hidden terrain tiles and prospect for mineral resources. \n\nMove the mouse cursor over New World terrain tiles already revealed. Over some tiles you will see the green arrow (deploy) cursor, and over other tiles you will see the eye (prospect) cursor. Regardless of which cursor is showing, if you click on a tile, the explorer moves there and reveals all the adjacent hidden tiles next turn. If the tile is one that can be prospected he will accomplish this at the same time.\n\nIdeally you want to choose tiles for exploration that are adjacent to lots of hidden terrain and could also contain minerals.\n\nProspecting and exploring both take one turn. Next turn all adjacent terrain tiles will be revealed. If you find a mineral an icon will be shown in the prospected tile.
3492 Large settlements of New world native people are called tribal capitals. The non-mineral resources adjacent to a tribal capital are already developed by the native population.\n\nIn order for your Empire to conduct peaceful trade and diplomacy with a tribe, the capital of the tribe must first be revealed.
3493 The four minerals found in the Old World (tin, copper, iron ore, and coal) are also plentiful in the New World. Additionally the New World contains silver (found in the hills) gold and gems (found in the mountains), and diamonds (found in the desert). Of these minerals, diamonds and gems are the most valuable.\n

4005 Your excellency, I am pleased to report that thanks to our foreign policies, our country has produced a developer unit for overseas exploitation!\n\nYou may send your developer to buy land tiles in any Minor Nation where you have an embassy. Once you bought the land, you may send other civilians there to develop it. When the host nation sells resources you developed, you will receive a share of the profits (proportional to how good your relationship is). \n\nThe profits appear in the Deal Book as Overseas Profits .

39297 Levies conscripted from the countryside on an emergency basis, these regiments are incapable of sustained military effort.
39298 Normally employed in skirmishes rather than in pitched battles, Calivermen are trained to take advantage of rough terrain.
39299 These men move rapidly across all terrain. They are taught to take cover and fight when not in formation.
39300 Unformed troops armed with long rifles, adept at using terrain for concealment.
39301 Armed with pikes and swords, these infantry fight in close order and are necessary to protect regiments with firearms until the invention of the bayonet.
39302 Halberdiers are more heavily armed and better trained pikemen. Use them to protect vulnerable troops.
39303 Regular infantry regiments carry muskets and bayonets. They fight best when fortified.
39304 New breechloading rifles allow these infantry to fire faster, and at longer ranges.
39305 Armed with an early version of the musket, these troops are deadly only at close range, and are vulnerable to cavalry if unprotected.
39306 Musketeers carry firearms of greater accuracy than those of earlier regiments, but require protection in a melee.
39307 Grenadier s weapons are similar to those of the regulars, but their training allows then to inflict more damage.
39308 Guard regiments recruit only the largest and strongest soldiers.
39309 Although the longbow and crossbow can inflict serious casualties, they will both be superseded by firearms.
39313 Generals are usually not physically fit, but tend to dress more nicely than other units.
39317 Lightly armed knights, squires perform scouting functions for the army but are nearly useless in battle.
39318 Cossacks, or steppe horsemen, may be recruited by rulers to scout, forage, and pillage for the main army.
39319 Hussars are the fastest scouts in the army but should not be used to attack formed troops.
39320 Scouts are lightly armed and fast horsemen adept at reporting on the enemy positions and escaping when sighted.
39321 Although protected by heavy body armor, knights can eventually be slain by bows or muskets. Best used against peasants or weakened forces as shock troops.
39322 Used as shock troops, Lancer regiments, recruited rrom the upper classes, inflict panic on their demoralized foes.
39326 Although the harquebus can be fired from horseback, it inflicts little damage due to its poor accuracy and the length of time it takes to reload.
39327 Cuirassiers spearhead attacks, but are most effective when attacking unentrenched and unsupported infantry.
39328 Armed with new rapid fire carbines, these cavalry regiments devastate their foes.
39330 The first mobile artillery, these units are able to move to a new area of the battlefield, unlimber, and fire their guns rapidly.
39331 Light Artillery can be risked closer to enemy lines in immediate support of an attack.
39332 With a rifled gun barrel these units are capable of firing at much longer range than earlier cannons.
39333 The poor mobility of these early cannons makes them useful mainly for defense and siege warfare.
39334 Powerful artillery that easily eliminates fortifications that have not been modernized.
39335 These artillery are heavier than previous artillery, the ideal piece for all types of defense.
39336 These guns, while extremely slow in the field, batter entrenchments, knock down walls, and disrupt the foe.

39425 Huge, slow ships, galleons possess both cavernous cargo holds and impressive firepower.
39426 Bristling with up to 130 smoothbore cannons arranged on two or three gun decks, the most powerful vessels in the world until ironclads are developed.
39427 Ironclads resist the firepower of foes with armor, but carry fewer cannon than a Ship-of-the-Line.
39428 Ideal commerce raiders and escorts, sloops are able to flee from ships they cannot sink.
39429 Constructed with one deck of cannons, frigates are used as scouts, raiders, and escorts.\n
39430 These wooden vessels are fast scouts and commerce raiders. Their cannon are rifled breech loaders but they are too weak to fight in the line of battle.\n
39431 A large ship ideal for carrying cargo efficiently.
39432 These large ships are slow and incapable of defending themselves against a ship of the line or a frigate. \n
39433 Although faster than earlier sailing vessels, these early steamers cannot compete with a clipper for speed.
39434 Carracks are slow, defenseless, and have a small carrying capacity. Their one virtue is their extremely low price.
39435 A small low-cost ship, a trader represents a significant improvement over the outmoded carrack.
39436 Clippers are more likely than other ships to run a blockade or to escape from hostile fleets, due to their speed.

39553 Your Excellency, we must establish an embassy before we can propose such an elaborate treaty.
39554 Your Excellency, we are at war with this country. We must propose a peace treaty before we can hope for more advanced negotiations.
39555 Your Excellency, we can only offer alliances to other Great Powers.
39557 We are not at war with this country, so a peace treaty is unnecessary at this point.
39558 We are already in a state of war with this country.
39559 Your excellency, we must establish a trade consulate before we can propose complex trade agreements.
39560 We cannot boycott one of our allies, Your Excellency.

39563 We already have an embassy there, Your Excellency.
39564 Your Excellency, we cannot make diplomatic overtures directly to a colony. We must approach its ruling Great Power.
39565 Your Excellency, that nation has lost its capital city and cannot conduct diplomacy any more.
39566 Your Excellency, there is no need to make a diplomatic overtures to ourselves.
39567 Your Excellency, we can only offer non-aggression pacts to Minor Nations.
39568 Your Excellency, we already have a non-aggression pact with that Minor Nation.
39569 Your Excellency, we already have an alliance with that Great Power.
39571 Your Excellency, we are already boycotting that country.
39572 Your Excellency, we must establish an embassy before we can grant foreign aid.
39573 Your Excellency, unfortunately we do not have the $1000 required to establish an embassy.
39574 Your Excellency, unfortunately we do not have the $500 required to establish a trade consulate.
39575 Unfortunately Your Excellency, we do not have enough money to offer so large a grant.
39576 Your Majesty, we do not need to bother with the formalities of a peace treaty with these savages.
39577 Your Majesty, there s no reason to honor these savages with a formal declaration of war. Come, let us take what we want.
39578 Your Majesty, that is our own colony.
39579 Your Majesty, that is our own vassal state.
39580 Your Majesty, we don t have the technology yet to offer Embassies. The button shouldn t even be on the screen yet.

43201 Build transport capacity
43202 Your Excellency. I m sure you will be galled to learn that the Great Power of [1: countryName] has more than twice our transport capacity!\n\nI respectfully remind you to make use of the Railyard.
43203 Build merchant ships
43204 Your Excellency. The Great Power of [1:countryName] has more than twice our merchant cargo space.\n\nI respectfully urge you to build more merchant ships in the Shipyard.
43205 Increase Labor Supply
43206 Your Excellency. The Great Power of [1:countryName] can muster more than twice the industrial labor we can.\n\nI respectfully suggest you recruit fresh workers using the Capitol, and improve the quality of our work force using the Trade School.
43207 A resource shortage resulted in idle workers. You need to get more [1:item] before they will work again.
43209 Expand the Steel Mill
43210 Your Excellency. The Great Power of [1:countryName] has a steel mill industry with a capacity more than double ours. \n\nPlease consider expanding the capacity of our steel mill industry.
43211 Expand the Lumber Mill
43212 Your Excellency. The Great Power of [1:countryName] has a lumber industry with a capacity more than double ours. \n\nPlease consider expanding the capacity of our lumber mill.
43219 Strengthen the Army
43220 Your Excellency. The Great Power of [1:countryName] has an army more than twice as strong as ours. \n\nIt is a dangerous state of affairs. I strongly urge you to build army units.
43221 Strengthen the Navy
43222 Your Excellency. The Great Power of [1:countryName] has a navy more than twice as strong as ours. \n\nIt is a dangerous state of affairs. I strongly urge you to build naval units.
43223 Workers Idled by Resource Shortage
43224 A resource shortage resulted in idle workers. There are three possible causes:\n1. Workers had to eat the wrong type of food.\n2. Advanced workers did not get their luxury materials.\n3. Workers had no food at all but foraged for food this turn.
43225 Invest in Technology
43226 Your Excellency, exciting new technologies are available from which we could benefit with merely a small investment. You consider investing in technology.
43227 Diplomatic Lead Overthrown!
43228 Our influence over the Minor Nation of [1: name] has been usurped by the Great Power of [2: name].\n
43229 Prepare for Battle
43230 Your Excellency, the Great Power of [1: countryname] declared war on us!\n\nYou and the Defense Minister must mobilize the army and navy and defend the capitol city at all costs. Diplomacy has failed.
43231 Slipping behind in battle for markets
43232 Your Excellency, the Great Power of [1: countryName] has become the most favored trade partner with the minor nation of [2: countryName].\n\nSubsidies and frequent trade deals would help us regain our former lead.
43233 Feed the Workers
43234 Your Excellency, food stocks have run dangerously low. Under your current orders, valuable workers will starve!\n\nI urge you to reconsider your trade and transport orders.
43235 Update Transport Orders
43236 Your Excellency, I beg you never to leave freight cars or barges idle. \n\nValuable transport capacity is going to waste. Please give me updated transport orders.
43237 Provide Diplomatic Orders
43238 Your Excellency, the foreign ministers of the world are about to exchange diplomatic proposals, as they do every 3 months. \n\nI have not yet received any orders from you. Please give me instructions using the diplomacy screen.
43239 Use Diplomacy Wisely
43240 Your Excellency, perhaps we could use some of our funds to gain influence in other countries.
43241 Capitol in Danger!
43242 Your Excellency, hostile forces stronger than our defending armies now border the Capitol City. \n\nThe situation is dire. I leave tonight for my country estate.
43243 Capitol in Danger!
43244 Your Excellency, at least one fleet stronger than our defending navy has established a beach head off our Capitol City. Enemy troops could arrive at any time.
43245 Build a Miner
43246 Congratulations upon your successful prospecting. To make these minerals available for transport, you need to send a miner to this spot to work.\n\nIf you don t already have one, I suggest training a miner in the university (in the Industry screen).
43247 Build a Depot
43248 Your Excellency, it is frequently a good idea to consider ordering the engineer to build a depot once he has laid enough track to get beyond the radius of the city. \n\nThe depot would allow you to transport in resources the city can t reach.
43249 Transport Resources
43250 Your Excellency, I remind you that now that this worker has finished his job, you need to give transport orders to benefit from the additional resources.
43251 Connect all Depots
43252 Congratulations upon the completion of a new depot. \n\nNotice the signal next to the building. If it is green, the depot is connected to the city and you can give transport orders to bring in new resources (click the transport button under the mini-map).
43253 Transport Resources
43254 Congratulations upon the completion of a new port. I remind you to set new transport orders to take advantage of the resources it makes available.\n\nBecause ports do not need to be connected by rail, you can set new orders right away.
43255 Increase Transport Capacity
43256 We now have more resources available than we can transport in one turn. This is an excellent sign of growth.\n\nI suggest building more transport capacity from the Railyard in the Industry screen.
43257 Prospecting Hint
43258 Your prospecting was unsuccessful. \n\nIf you want to see a hint about where to find some minerals, scroll down.\n\n\n\n\n\nHint #1: Iron can be found in the isolated hills 3 spaces North-East of the capital.
43259 Your prospecting was unsuccessful. \n\nIf you want to see a second hint about where to find some minerals, scroll down.\n\n\n\n\n\nHint #2: Coal can be found in the hills 1 space North and 2 spaces West of your capital.
43260 Your prospecting was unsuccessful. \n\nIf you want to see a third hint about where to find some minerals, scroll down. \n\n\n\nHint #3: Gold can be found in the mountains 2 spaces North and 3 spaces West of your capital.
43261 Look to the Seas!
43262 Your Excellency, there are hostile forces cruising at will in the seas off our coast. I call your attention to:\n
43263 Defend the Empire!
43264 Your Excellency, you have left a province adjacent to enemy forces undefended. I beg you to reconsider your military deployments.
43265 Upgrade the Troops
43266 Your Excellency, we must support the troops with the best new weapons. It is imperative that our military be upgraded, lest our forces be outmatched.
43267 Defend Coastal Sea Zones!
43268 Ports are being blockaded and cut off from the transport network. You should send our fleet to drive the enemy away.
43269 Consider the Competition...
43270 Your Excellency, that Minor Nation is too deeply under the influence of another Great Power for our grants to be effective.
43271 Provide Industrial Orders
43272 Your Excellency, idle workers could be gainfully employed.\n\nI have not yet received any orders from you. Please give me instructions using the industry screen.
43273 Military food supply problem!
43274 Your Excellency, our military units have been damaged by desertion as a result of food supply problems.
43275 Trade and Transport Capacity Warning
